My fondest memory of Aunt Mina is when she would send my brother and I birthday cards. Aunt Mina would always include a one dollar bill in each card she sent us. She would always sign the card from Aunt Mina, Uncle John and the dog's name along with the words "woof woof" next to the dog's name. (I cannot remember the dog's name). That was always funny to me, one entire dollar.
