Dear Lokke, Our daughter, Jean found this and sent it out. We are so excited to see you, but you do look different.!!Fran and Bruce Campbell
Thank you! Nice to hear from both of you. I’m in New York City now, but I often think about the old neighborhood. I miss the elms, I miss open spaces and above all, I miss you both!
