Re: More Memories

Betty, that is such a sweet story about my brother and you. Seems like no one has any idea what affect they will have on another, even years later.

I was in California on the 40th anniversary of his death with my Mom. She has kept a suitcase filled with things we packed back in 1966, and it had never been opened!

I was able to bring home precious memories of Eddy.

I don't know if any of you know, but he was quite the mechanic at a very young age. He received gold-plated torque wrenches, micrometers, and three different wrench sets from different mechanics contests he competed in through Chrysler Corporation. I now have them and plan to make a special exhibit of them.

He had also Soloed in an airplane and the shirt he had worn (without the tail)was in that suitcase. Sure wish I had the shirt-tail with his name on it that was tacked up on the wall at the little airport he flew from. oh well

You, Betty, were won of many that I remember as being such a dear sweet friend. Glad to hear from you and thank you for your memories.

Always, Rosanna
