I am sorry for your loss,I remember your mother having cub scouts upstairs in the kitchen,one project was making a wooden tugboat.Also helping clean shrimp in buckets on the back porch,I think on Fridays with Fred and maybe Bill. Your mother often gave us a plate of fried shrimp as a reward.

Rich, so sorry to hear about your Mother, I'm sure she had a wonderful life, 97 that's truly amazing! And she always did like me, :)! Maybe one of these days I'll stop in and see you to talk about old times or if you ever go up to Door County, I'm in downtown Dyckesville. Take care, my friend!
