Dear June- I am so sorry to hear about Arthur and apologize for not responding sooner. I just lost my wife, Paula, on Sunday October 30th so things have been hectic around here. I remember the good times we had at Echo Lake when we had the the Shook family reunion. I bet the Edsel is now the car of choice in heaven. You have my deepest sympathy. Neil D. Shook
