Flotten Family,

Although we never met Robert, we had the immense pleasure of working with and becoming friends with Sarah at Camp Menogyn. She was there for us when our family was hit with the tragic death of our daughter. If I can send out to her and the whole Flotten family even a fraction of the comfort she gave us, a lot will come your way.

We are sorry for your loss.

Barb, Joe, Alyssa & Jayne Spado

Dear Sue and All: Bob was a long time friend and Paul and he

were very close while at St. OIaf. They studied together before

exams, both history and economics, and often dated together. Bob

was always very even tempered and congenial. He enjoyed

very much joining Paul at Torskeklubben lunches and but for his illness, he would have been admitted as a member before this time.

We too will miss him greatly. Much love- Ruth and Paul Hauge
