Was surprised to see an 'ancient face' with a familiar name. Thanks for responding. Mother and she corresponded every Christmas, birthday etc, and I continued after Mom died. Met Donna Belle in 1992 when I took Mother back to Nebraska after my dad died. Had a great reunion with lots of family in Cook, Ne.

Enjoyed looking at the photographs. Seems he has had a happy life. When I saw the photo with the train was just what I wished for him. Wonder what happened to the toy train?
