Dear Anna and Family. We fully enjoyed the friendship of you family over many, many years. Wayne, Johnnie Krob, John Pospichil, John Mallie and myself had to have been the best bowling team that St. John’s ever had (at least the most fun). We also had many other fun times. If we were in Iowa, I would bring a wood stump to the visitation. The good times are the best to remember. Jim and Karen Steffen, Green Valley, AZ
