It's been a very long time since I last was in contact with the Slenk family. I attended the wedding of Helen and Joe in 1954 with Dorothy (Dodie) who was my best friend at that time and who was my Maid of Honor in 1956. I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Helen and her sons at this time and Joe's brothers and sisters. I also hope that the remaining family is doing well. I will keep all in my thoughts and prayers.
