I was saddened to hear of Dunc's passing. How vividly I remember his cheerful conversation when we were neighbors in Rehoboth. Strangely I remember the chickens and the exchange of eggs for my little bantams to set on his large chickens' eggs. Foolish, but an endearing memory.
I wish you all well as you head into a place of quiet.
Love to you all,
JudithQueen (Garella)
