Dear Lorne, and family. So sorry I could not attend. Ray and I would have been there, but there was no way for me to get there. Everyone was working or too far away. It would have been nice to see all my relatives. I was thinking about the time we took you and Doreen ro a Blue Jays banquet I wonder how many years ago that was?
