My parents (Pat & Carl McQuown) and Joann were close friends. So many stories about the Youngs.. et al. Melvin and Helen were once customers of mine (Niles Times.) Buddy and my dad, Carl McQuown, were good friends. I reside in Northern California now. If I lived closer I would attend her funeral.
:*( Blessings,
Randy "McQuown" Parker.
