Dear Al and family,
Although I know he is in a better place, I was sad to hear of your dad’s passing. As I told you at the reunion in August, I saw your dad a few years back and got a personal tour of the Boalsburg Heritage Museum. He knew the origin of each piece. I remember some pieces came from Pam Keene’s grandfather. It was very interesting getting a Boalsburg history lesson. He also gave me some advice on “relocating” unwanted groundhogs.
When my colleagues sent a donation to the Brotherhood class in memory of my dad, your dad sent a really nice thank you note. I remember he finished by simply saying, “I will miss him.” It still makes me cry when I think of it. I like to think they are both up there, gathering tools for the next Habitat for Humanity undertaking and planning the next annual Brotherhood Corn Boil.
My heartfelt condolences.
