Jan, I am at the library browsing through obits while Ed is at home watching the Florida football team play. So sorry to see that your husband and died. Way too young! We are fine. We stay in Ft. Lauderdale area 5 months each winter as 4 of our five children live down here. However, we still can't leave the Toledo area permanently. We enjoyed all the children you had, Jan. Wasn't Rose Arbor Dr. a special place to live? Hope you are doing fine--well, as best as can be expected. Our best to you in the future. Your former neighbors, Ed and Betty Poss.

John: Everything I know about planned giving I learned from you. BGSU is a better place because of all the time you spent toiling in the field. You left quite a legacy!

Jan and Family,
You are all in our prayers. John was a very special man who meant a great deal to our family. I wonder if they will let he and dad watch the Rose Bowl in the same room.
