Jim III and Phyillis Spangler,I’m sorry to hear your father passed away. My thoughts are with both of you and your families. My father passed away at 84 last March. I guess it’s their season. I often think back to good old Solanco and the Host Farm. Hope all is going well with both of you……

Hi Phyllis,

So sorry to hear of Jims death, I can remember when we camped together at North 40 and always had a good time. Phi, has been gone for 13 years now and he and Jim can say hi once again. If you are living in the area, give me a call when you have time and maybe we can have lunch. My # is 872-6611. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dene Bradney, Phils, wife.
