  4. Scott, stumbled on this today. Was thinking about your Dad when we were kids and the tacos he made and set over. 1st and best tacos I’ve ever eaten. If you wondering who this is, I’m your former next door neighbor, Karen Haberman. I’ll let my Mom know and Gayle. Give your Mom my best and I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing. God Bless you!
    PS I live in NW Washington on the Olympic Peninsula. I see that you’re in Seattle. WOW!
