I remember Louise:
I am the son of Caroline Templeton, nee Kuhl.
Mom was nanny/babysitter for the Droster children circa 1940. While caring for these wonderful children, Mom attended church with the family, and was led by the Holy Spirit to be confirmed in their church.
When Mom married my Dad, Lawrence, Mille baked a cake to celebrate their first anniversary. Wes Droster found a picture and gave it to me.
During the 1950's our family visted Earl and Mille at the farm on Buckeye Road. Louise had a horse as I remember, only animal left in the barn. I can remember maybe Wes Droster hitting golf balls from the front lawn and not worry about hitting anything but farm fields.
At various times through out the years our paths would cross and we would talk fondly about our past.
Louise has been called to her eternal reward, and is waiting for us to join her there.
Sincerely,
Bruce Templeton
