A few years ago Vicki was getting to know the family as we headed to visit Aunt Jenette and Uncle Dick's for a Christmas evening. It is hectic and a bit crazy with family coming and going as is typical. Then Mike starting playing the piano, people found a seat to listen, and Uncle Dick stood at the top of stairs, then everyone sang. When we left Vicki said that it was the best Christmas ever. Thank you Uncle Dick for all the memories.
