Mornin Bud,



It's hard to believe it is over 2+ years since you left us. Your memories are still vivid in my mind as they will always. Many changes at the BH these past 2 yrs. Not sure you would like them but, time marches on.

I need to contact Florence and see how she's doing. I imagine she keeps moving along. Sue sees her occasionally.

Keep a watch on us down here Bud, and put in a word for me, would ya???

Love you and miss you,

Kathy
