Dear Holmberg Family: you should know your Dad, Hart, was my childhood friend from Kindergarten through Central HS. also we were confirmed Lutherans together, but much more. He & I kept in touch through the decades, he came to CHS reunions and Gordon School reunions. We visited him and Shirley in AZ, they visited us in our winter home in Scottsdale. I knew both his late brothers also. Hart will ever be in my heart. We shared birthday greetings till I didn't hear from him any longer (Feb.1935, both of us!), and assumed he was in care. We were close friends forever, and, as I too am 88, I may soon join him..you were lucky to have him as a Dad. Rest in peace dear life long pal! Love, Barbara
