In memory of my dear friend Nancy Prouty March, who was taken from us way too soon. Memories of us growing up together in that little village of Eagleville will stay forever with me.

My longtime friend Dick Staples, you bravely fought to the end, and your funny stories will never leave me. Thank you, my friend!
