Frank and Lois were next-door neighbors of my parents, Oliver and Jennie Byrd, for many years in Palo Alto. I grew up in the house next door (1533 Madrono) and my parents lived in the Madrono house for over 60 years. I remember when I was a child in the late 1940s and Frank and Lois's house was being built! (before they lived there). They were good neighbors to my parents, and helped my Dad when he fell in his old age. I remember them fondly and offer my condolences to their children, grandchildren, and great-granchildren.
