AB, Joey, and boys,
So sorry to hear about UChip. Will try to call soon. I recently scanned lots of old family slides and enjoyed remembering get togethers in Waldo and at the lakes. Best to all.

Betty & Joey
Lisa and I would like to express our condolences on the lose of Erwin. My memories of Erwin are of a the Patriotic Man that he was. I know he loved his Country and his family. I also remember parts of the Davis vacation to Washington in the late 60's. I may of only been 5 years old at the time but I do remember parts of it.
May God bless you both.
You are in our thoughts and Prayers.
Terry & Lisa Davis (Cicero IN)
