Feb 12, 1979
Dear Dave and Beez!
Just a few lines to thank you for the roots, I got in the mail the other day, it sure was exciting, uncle Chuck called me Saturday, I sure was surprised to hear his voice, I am glad he is feeling better. He told me he and aunt Francis had pictures of them, grandma Steward holding each one on her lap, but I forgot to ask, where the location of that place was. I hope they write you and thank you for all that trouble. I bet it cost a lot of money so let me know if I could help a little.
Went out to see Pat yesterday, there all fine, and Tim will be back here in June, he will be working. I guess he is happy about that, I don't think he cares much for that cold weather.
About my roots with all the ski names, I don't know them. I think one of them is my grandmother.
All for now
God Bless you
Love from
Grandma
PS. Hope you both feeling well.
