Dear Dan and Bill, I new you parents 50 years, and so many times they attended mass at Soldiers home chapel when we were in the old basement chapel and then the new one. I remember when you two would help out with the scouts on Sundays there. I saw your mother not long ago in Quincy talking about the old days, and she was playing cards once a month she said at St. Rose card parties. You both had good parents and I will remember them both at mass too. Paul K. Geers the old server from St. Lawrence chapel 1964-1987.
