Arlene & family,
Memories remain with my family of your's and Dan's hospitality at Smith Mountain
Lake, oh probably 12 years ago. Remembering Dan's stories about the buried town (under the man-made lake) and the boat rides. We had a blast.
Love you Arlene and sending hugs to you and your family during this time since can't be there.
