My parents, Ralph and Sylvia Mason, were close friends of Gertrude and Bill and also had a cabin in MN on Long Lake, Park Rapids. I worked for Bill at Clark Drug while I was in high school at ALHS. That was in late 40's & early 50's. I am sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear of your loss Kay. We lost our mom in Dec of 2007. She was 95. It's unbelievable how the years have passed us so quickly by from ALHS in 1956 to now. Our thoughts are with you and yours.
