    I remember many good times Mike and I had during some summers when he would spend time at our small ranch located north of Ryegate. As I remember, we spent more time trying to get out of work than actually doing the work that Dad assigned us.

    Also, I am so sorry I can not be there to help close up things and attend the funeral.

    I love you all,
    Earl & Jeanie
