Thinking of you.
My Mother was a great Mother. She reluctantly supported me in my various endeavors that led to a Great Life, a rewarding Professional Career from Avery’s Creek thru Montana and culminating my last ten years with Harvard and now in old age at my Outlaw Trail Ranch in the Canyon lands of Utah. Thank U Mother.
