To all our dear friends, relatives and neighbors in and around Milford, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! It was heartwarming to see and visit so many of ypu on our brief visit back home in June. We are sorry we missed some of you.

Stuart was a well informed guide and now he and his wife are back in Denver. Our sincere thanks to Arch and Della and their helpers for a wonderful homecoming.
