Malcolm and Becky, so sorry for the loss of Ivy Lee. I have fond memories of all of you. Last time I was home Dad and I rode down to Horse Bluff and it was heart warming to hear the laughter and see a crowd at your camp. It reminded us of the "old days". You and all of your family are in my prayers.
