Mark, sorry about the passing of your mother. I hope you gave her part of your share of the $50,000.00 prize we divided up for winning the Class "B" Float contest three years in a row.

Take care...Howard Bresnik

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Esther Davis, Mark & Alan, from your former neighbor on Keeney. We will always remember Esther's assurance that we were raising our kids well by, as she said, "sitting on them when they needed it".
