Very sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. He and your mom were wonderful people. My mom was Dixie MacRae. Your mom gave her the nickname Dixie. Real name was Melva Jean.

Mona,
Sorry to hear of your father’s passing. He was my supervisor a couple of years at the University of Colorado Denver campus in Grants & Contracts. I have always remembered him as so very nice, kind & had a wonderful sense of humor & so easy to talk to. I liked to listen to his stories about Betty & his daughters, could always tell how much he loved them. And I will always remember him as a caring & dear man, happy to have known him. In sympathy,
Mona,
