Marilyn/Carolyn - so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember your father in the school system, and you should remember me as one of your teachers. I moved to MI in 2002 and have a private apt. in my son's home; I do return to Ottumwa about once a year; some years to attend a class reunion. I was in Ottumwa for mosr of 59 years, and lived in my last home 39 years. I even remember when you parents moved to Fremont from their home out north. Take care.
