Dale was a good friend from Letts. Enjoyed many times with him traveling from home to school and getting into mischief. We had great fun riding in “the Blue bird”. An old car Dale bought from his uncle. We hung out at Letts grocery with many friends in the day. Lived across the street from his family. prayers for David and Sharon, Linda and Marsha and others.
