Susan and Marshall were such a delight and we loved sharing our Scottish heritage with them. Their dulcimer performances at our Christmas Ceilidhs were always greatly anticipated and enjoyed, and they were always ready to join in on all Society activities. Susan will be fondly remembered by her many friends in the Caledonian Society and she greatly enriched our lives with her friendship.
