Hi Burt and Jon: I'm so sorry to read of your Dad's passing. I remember with much joy growing up on Carol Avenue with you and going to your basement where your Dad helped me get the Citizenship in the Nation merit badge for Troop 14. We have been going through pictures from my parent's collection and here's one attached of your Dad and your Mom in our backyard for some picnic. Recognize the others?? So sorry to hear this, God bless you at this time of rememberance. Steve Gerberding - sjgerberding@gmail.com
