Mark,I was saddened to read about your father''s passing. I saw it a few minutes ago on our WVUF listserve.I know that you mentioned to me recently, when my father passed on, that you felt your father would not go too much longer. I was glad to read that your father made it to age 91. That means that he lived a good long life. We both have that to be thankful for.I noticed in the obituary that your father was a member of the IOOF Lodge. My grandfather, John Frankling Ball, was also a member of that organization -- in fact I have his lodge ring from the 1930s. Take care.Pam
