Betty and Dave's family were great friends of our family!(So were our neighbors and his parents, Sidney and Pearl!) One could not ask for better folks! I remember my first boat ride ever was in their boat on Lake Wisconsin. Also tried my first time of water skiing there.(Fell the first time and thought I had drunk most of the like!) My thoughts and prayers for comfort for the whole Brereton clan. God Bless, Bruce Kirking
