I first meet Samuel Ward Rife in Lakewood Hospital when he was born in 1947. Sam and I had a wonderful childhood growing up with our parents and Grandmother in an old house in Lakewood Ohio. Our family took many wonderful summer vacations to all parts of the U.S.A. It was a good life for us both. We learned about life and close family ties in Southern Ohio. Thanks for being a good brother. Love Ron
