Judy & Bill, I don't know if you will remember me or not. I was your next door neighbor on Kearney St. in Atchison for many years. I remember playing with our dolls together, Judy, and what a fun time we had. I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I remember all the beautiful flowers she always had in your yard. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Connie Norton McClain and family Holton, Kansas
