“they came to town to take care of some business and clearing the home. She asked me how far I lived and I told her it was not far from the hotel they were staying at.

“Showing our age, we laughed at the silliest things. Even one of her friends (who is an artist in the area) and her husband joined in. We simply had a great time. This is the picture from that time.
