Your mother was a very special person. I always admired her wit and intellect. My thoughts are with you Cassandra and Jason. Love to both of you.
June and I met fifty-three years ago in Tower-Soudan, MN, where we began our teaching careers in the Fall of 1959. It was a warm, supportive school system with a caring staff and administration. Learning was a high priority. The community was supportive. The students were interested. There couldn’t have been a better place to begin teaching, with one exception, it was the coldest place in the U. S.! During January of 1963, it was below zero 24-hours a day for two full weeks.
We struck up a friendship during the first week of school, one that continued despite distance and health issues. It mattered not how long we were apart, always we could immediately pick up where we left off, wrestling with political, national and personal issues, cutting right to the bone. Ours was a mutually fulfilling relationship that included differences in perspectives, but respect and sympathy for those differences. Nothing escaped our sharing. While some may have chafed at her analysis and logic, together we felt mutually enriched and respected. I’ve missed those conversations during the last few years, but I’ll always recall them and her hospitality with great fondness and pleasure.

My sincere condolences. Growing up neighbors, I have fond memories of June.
So glad Doris, you and I had the great fishing trips. You will be miss by all.
