Jim & Martha, seeing Gretchen's pic here, I can hear her voice in my memories. And that of your grdmother Emma. Your family & that small church, are part of the happy memories for which I'm grateful. My mom told me a funny story about your parents wedding, you probably know it, Nancy & I laughed when I recounted it to her. my love to you. Bill
