Dear Joan and Donnie, So sorry to learn of your brother’s passing. Don’t know if you remember me, but Donnie and I were childhood friends. I married Bill Joslin and moved to Texas. Bill died in 1985 and I recently remarried. You probably remember that Bill’s sister was married to Howard’s brother, Walt Gelini. My best to you and your family. Neddy nee Groves.
