To Gloria and Lee
Its Jeff Kreider 
We lived next door to you in Bausman.
I had seen you and Howard several years ago while I was passing through the neighborhood,  but I don’t think you remembered me.
But I always enjoyed you guys. Good neighbors. 
Howard always loved his garden, and now I grow one too.
I’m almost 72 years old, but still appreciated you as neighbors.
Jeff and Della Kreider
