  1. Andy,
    You always were my favorite “Roads Scholar”.
    Remembering the letters that you wrote to the various Municipalities.
    We laughed. Often wondered if the receivers of your letters understood.
    Now the Angels with be laughing and admiring your intelligence and the
    your skill of the English language.
    Just Me,

    • Thank you, Jean!
      Dad always had a way with words and humor. My sister and I were reminiscing all the random message machine recordings that embarrassed us growing up.
