Dear Bonnie & Family:
I was so sad to hear of Gil's death. I know he had an amazing life and was a very special man.
In 1967/68 Dawn, Andrea, Michael and I were roommates, first in Portland (Vancouver) and then Seattle. Sad to say, over the years, we lost contact with each other.
I think of Dawn and Andy often and especially in last few days. My husband Dave and I send our love and heartfelt sympathy to you, Dawn, Andrea, Michael and the entire Jarvela family.
We are in the same house in Wallingford (same phone number too), and would love to reconnect with Dawn and Andy.
Love, Nancy & Dave Haugen
