This is so many years old. My parents were Ruth and Arne Sundstrom. They were close friends with Giz“ mom and dad. My name is Krys Sundstrom Chisholm. I am their daughter. I think of Giz and Denny often. When I was in Hayward, I would visit Uncle Will and Aunt Carol regularly. So much history in our families. If you read this, please share this with Denny. Blessings, Krys Chisholm

After my Mom died, Giz would call my Dad to remind him of my birthday. It was such a sweet and thoughtful thing to do. I will miss him. My best to you Karen.
