Mr. Donald K. Marlowe

Donald, I will always remember you as someone who held a special place in my heart. The many years we shared our family birthdays together by the pond, hunting camp or down at Papa and Shasha's. I have many fond memories of you and Yasuko. The chicken curry was always a staple. Her bright smile and little laugh. You, another tootsie pop giver, a grocery bag filled with goodies for all the kids was sure to be on your passenger seat awaiting my hands. You- saying "Jelly, pass these out to all the kids. "
When I got my first teaching job I asked you for your address so my second grade kiddos could write you a Veterans Day letter. I looked forward to that moment every year. My second grade students were always pleasantly surprised by your so gracious check, with a typewriter letter stating we need to cash this check and have a pizza party, and that we always did. My favorite Veteran to celebrate.
I love you like my own Grandfather. May you and Yasuko be reunited. <3 Love you always, Jelly (Angelica)
