How marvelous to hear from you. You are my
second cousin. I grew up with your father
and brother, spent a lot of time on their
farm near Nelson, Missouri, and on your
great grandparents' farm ( I wrote poems about your great grandparents James and Estelle, which I can send you.

Myrtle is dear to me, came with Henry Allen to my mom's funeral.

My father was your great uncle Henry. Your
dad came to Kansas City to teach science at
Center High, where I too taught.

Give Myrtle my love.

I would really like to hear from you again. Would you email me direct at dial@uakron.edu?

Regards,

Bob
