Peg,Al,Sandy, Little Al,Grace, Marie, Stella and Ron- I have many childhood and high school memories of Sam--and all of you. Your big old house in North Washington always had the door open for stray kids like me. I was so sorry to hear of Sam's sudden death recently-please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. He always had a story to tell or a joke to share. Take good care of yourselves and each other.
