So many wonderful childhood memories! I am thankful Betty attended an event recently which reunited some of us from the old neighborhood...she told me I went over to her house one day and sat on her lap and we snuggled for awhile...such a nice person along with the rest of her family.Minneapolis, MN 04/03/2012 2:07 PM
