July 14, 2020 at 9:28 amDear Bill and family,
I was wondering how you all were so I started searching online, in fear of something like this. I have many happy memories of the get togethers all you Gild people had every Memorial Day weekend, rotating among the homes, all of the children playing together for one afternoon a year.
I remember making apple cider in your big yard in Hillsdale (so maybe the get together were Labor Day?) and also getting together at Judy and Dr. somebody’s home in Milan. I can’t remember their last name.
My parents, as you know, are both gone, both in 2004, for I am sure that Judy and my mom and dad, have met Sis when she arrived in Heaven and they’re all sitting around sharing stories just like in the old days.
Hugs to you,
Dawn Badger King (daughter of Bill and Trudy Badger
