So many wonderful memories. When we 1st met Bob had a Malibu, I think. The floor was rusted out in a few spots and he had to reach down through a hole in it to reach the gear shift & change gears.
Lots of memories at the fire hall and Merl, Sue, Bob, Fran, Terry & I had together.
I remember one time I was going to ask Bob if he wanted corn on the cob & Fran said, "please, don't ask. I will will have to cut it off the cob and butter it for him." :)
I was so happy when Bob & Fran found God and CMA .
