Dick & Peggy... sorry to have just heard of your father's passing. I have been searching for him and any contact information so that my parents could reconnect with relatives. They are Howard & Joyce Beese. Howard is Kenneth's nephew... perhaps the oldest living nephew. Please contact me at [email protected].
