Bobbie, David, Kathy, Bonnie and families

Was so sorry to read in paper about Dan's passing. Here I am family and never knew his name was Austin. Been so long since I have seen any of you, have just been pretty much out of touch with everyone.

Wanted to let all of you know that I am thinking about all of you.

Love, Judy and Ed

My most sincere sympathy.

Mr. McLean was my chemistry teacher in high school. There were five of us named John in a class of 20. We were always quick to answer as a group but, although I'm sure we drove him nuts, He never lost his cool.

Time has wondered on and I never saw him again after high school but I never forgot that kind softspoken man.
