Sorry I could not attend. I was within a few 100 feet of you twice this summer but both times in the wee hours on a tight schedule that I could not change, but I thought of you all and saw the B-17 on the way by. Good to hear that your younger relatives are doing well and that June, Edna and Bud have been facing the indignities of years with courage and cheer. My mother is free to travel now with my dad's passing last April so she hopes to be in Washington Nov., Dec. I may intercept her their and see you all on way. I'll look forward to that. Winston Churchill spoke of the "finest hour." That generation of youths is fast leaving us but their memory remains. A ten year old today was asking the why and what of that effort. Look forward to seeing you soon. Roy C. Kllopfenstein

Ben, I am so very sorry for you, reading about your grandpa passing on. My 'gramp' was a great guy. He worked for SCE up here the same time-frame yours did, and retired a year before yours. I can tell by your grandpa's picture that my gramp would have liked him a lot. I hope they knew each other. Thoughts and prayers to you and yours.
