Dear Mrs. Pulver,
I was so sorry to read of your loss. I have fond memories of both you: Mr. Pulver swinging me around in a dance in Eden Manor as a teenager then much later purchasing 2 decoys from him (I think that was in Reading). I still have those decoys and think of you more often then you would guess! I saw him some time ago at the grocery store and we had a nice long chat.I send my sympathies to you.
Love, Shelley Wormington Hoober
