25 Jul 2019This is a surprise, Stephen. Your parents were an inspiration to me regarding the history of the valley. Used to visit with Norm quite a bit at the laundromat in Carbondale – loved visiting with your mother on Facebook. She always knew the finer points of many discussions. I will miss her. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
