Dear Paul.
I wanted to be with you on thursday to say good-by. But since I'm a yearolder than you, travel is not easy anymore. WE have known each other for 75 years from 1940 until the early fifties when I lived next year to you.
Some of the memories I have from these years are
Riding on the back roads of Newtown with George driving youe DeSoto and zipping around fast but safely.
Riding beside you in your Ford truck doing farm work as you drove at age ten or eleven.
Discovering Charlie with a girl in the hay mow.
The tree hous on Taunton Lake near our house.
Blowing silage in with you and I in the top of the silo.
When Johnny Griffen accidently shot you in your arm.
The old stone houuse.
Our trip to Woodbury with Dolores when I first broght Barbara down to Newtown to meet my folks.
Your "old Man"
Louis and Talga and the Mount Pleasant Pleasant Spesial.
Allvis from England during the war.
The swimming hole down in Hawleyville.
Skating on Taunton Lake during the winter.
As Dolores knows, we engineers can't spell.
Fireworks on the banking on the front of your house.
Your 1929 La Salle and my 1927 Cadilac.
Friday night fights on TV at your house with Willie Pep.
Yooour mother's coffee pot with egg shells.
I will miss you very much, but know you will be reunited with Albert, Bob, George:and Charlie
We will stay in touch with Dolores
Thank you for the seventy five years we had together.
Russ Van Billiard..
