Fond memories of the Nicklaws in Syracuse.Lived right across from us on Plymouth Drive.
Loved Kathy when I was in grade school.
Just read your note that you left with my father’s obituary. I do remember those days in Eastwood, Syracuse with our families. As I recall 18 children between to families relocated to Huntsville, AL and Ormond Beach, FL. that street block in a single year.
