This message is for Ann.
If I remember correctly, the last time I saw you was during a trip to Muscatine in the 1990s to visit my mother. I stopped by your beautiful home on River Road (22) overlooking the Mississippi and had a nice visit with you and Bob. The class of 1964 has lost quite a few of its members, especially of late; and I am so sorry to hear that Bob is now among them. You have my deepest sympathy.
I first met Bob in junior high and then we attended high school together until he found the most "beautiful" girl to ever stroll the halls of Muskie High and you two got married. I will be visiting Muscatine next week for the memorial service of another classmate, Barbara Haveman Felton, who I stayed in contact with during all these years since high school. It will be a quick trip as my wife needs to be back on Wednesday for a doctor's appointment after her hip replacement surgery so I will be unable to attend Bob's service. Our 60th Reunion is the first weekend in October and maybe I'll have time then to say hi.
