Dave I was sorry to hear about Rose. My mom just told me today that Rose passed. It has been a long time since I had seen you both. I believe Erika Rosenbergs wedding. My memories of the pool parties, as a child at your house in Bel Aire are still strong. My condolences to you and Wendy and Freddy.

As a Bonanza fan for 48 years I will always think of you fondly. We will never know how much influence you had "behind the scenes" while your husband was creating and casting Bonanza, but we know you were always there helping him.
