Bob, Nancy & "Grid" I was very sorry to hear that your Dad passed away. I can still remember him relaxing by the pool, tending the barbecue and above all, telling (sometimes grisly) stories about his emergency room adventures. One of my fondest memories of your Dad was when he arrived late from emerg while we were all sitting down for Sunday dinner. Your mom had made a magnificent meal of rare roast beef, mashed potatoes and peas and as we were digging in, your Dad told us in gory detail about the patient who had her arm muscle ripped out when she was bitten by a horse! So much for the beef!! Unfortunately, I can't be there for your Dad's memorial service, but hope you will consider me there in spirit. So much has happened over the last 25 years I'm sure we all have incredible tales to tell. Interestingly, I now live with my second husband and daughter only five minutes from your old homestead. I often refer to "Vivilor" when i need a walk down memory lane. Warm regards, Suzi (nee Sue Hesse, aka Suzi Cream Cheese)
