Sorry to hear of the loss of Arlene I have great memories of going to anchor club with my grandpa (Greg mchenry) she would alway have my Pepsi and sour cream and onion chips ready for me and shared my stories of my family . Her and Charlie were like family when I was little. Wishing her and her family peace at this time.
