Dear Hyrkas family.
I ran across this and don’t even know how I found it. In 2008, my husband and I moved to El Dorado Hills and lived there for 10 years. I looked up your parents but could t locate anyone. Carolyn, your dad is embedded in my memories forever. I saw both of them about 30 years ago on a visit with Cindy Miniachi.
Hope you all are doing well.
