Melba, Julie and Gay: We offer our deepest condolences and prayer for your comfort in this time of great sorrow. Don is ten years my senior and as a ten year old stayed with my folks quite often after I was born. Yes he was a babysitter for me, helped me learn to walk and ride my tricycle. My father said he loved to pound nails and on Sunday afternoon when they were attempting to get a nap, he would come to their room asking, can "I borrow a few nails"? Dad said with a wink, "but he never returned the nails he borrowed". Don and Melba were very kind with me. I stayed with them during the state high school basketball tournament during my senior year and the following summer while I was job hunting in the twin cities. I also recall their wedding day at Zion Lutheran in McGrath. It was a miserable snowy day in October. I recall them, in spite of the weather, joyfully getting into Don's decorated Ford to leave the church. God's Peace to you, Ger
