Dennis: Condolences during this difficult time in your family. Your Mom sounds like she was a busy & involved person & will be missed. I seldom notice names from my past, but Her’s (thus your’s) brought back memories of the ’75 or ’76 Jaycees Canoe Race on The Red Cedar–ending @ “Monty’s”. As canoe partners, we did exceptionally well. My wife & I now Kayak frequently similar areas & also from Williamson, on the Red Cedar.

Prayers for your Mom & your Family, as you travel to & from the Michigan area again. Monty’s is long gone, But: “I Remember Better Days, & YOU !” Ron Ratherbeskiing@aol.com
