Dear John, Tom and Dolly,
I was sorry to read of your mother's
passing. Your mother was "Aunt"
Ruth to my brother Lee, sister Debbie and myself. Your mother and my
mother were good friends from high
school. I stayed at your parents house in 1956 while my mother recovered from an accident. I remember staying at your cottage on
the Allegany river when I was a pre-teen and older - many good times.
You father helped my father on many
projects at our house in Cooperstown.
I hope your families are doing well.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. Ruth was a great neighbor and friend to us both. We enjoyed many of her stories about fishing. She was a very special woman, and we are glad we had the chance to know her.

So sorry to hear of your mother's death. We worked together at many functions for the women's club over the years. She certainly was a hard worker!
