Pam,
Fondly remembering when I Carpool
with Allan and his father and friends into Boston back in the mid sixtys. We were all young and adventitious, such fun we had then. So very nice to see that you were blessed with fifty years, three boys and five grandchildren. With heartfelt sympathy. May time heal your broken heart! Fondly Pat (Saunders) Danielson- Hingham, Ma.
