My Uncle Ralph; One fine day I dropped by to visit Ralph: Ralph was glad to see me and welcomed me with a strong hand shake and a big smile. He talked stoically about his life, his recent decline in health, his new prescriptions and various scheduled medical test as though he was just trying to make his way through the complex world of modern medicine. Weighing his own thoughts, never once complaining. We talked and laughed about how my mother: Ralphs' sister ' Ruth May' called him " Waffay' because Ruth had a difficult time pronouncing the letter 'r' and Ralph became "Waffay. When the War started Ralph never gave it a secound thought about what he needed to do; join the Marines. Ralph talked openly and in some detail about his combat experiencs, his return to civilian life and his loving family. I left in a similar manner to how I had arrived, a strong hand shake and a big smile, and my drive home was different, better. Thank you Ralph; Ted Layne will miss you very much.

Kathy,
Your dad had such an impressive life. He was courageous and kind. I have wonderful memories of summer visits to your home. I remember your dad taking us to the ocean where he taught me how to catch crabs! This is still one of my fondest childhood memories.
I wish I could be there on Saturday but I will be thinking of you and your family.
All My Best,
Ginny
