When I first met Judy in 1959, I soon learned of her two best friends, Kathy and LaRue.  Both of them had married so I did not initially meet them and I also learned that the guys they married (Del & Don) had another friend Ed who Judy dated and was part of the trio!  So I felt a little bit out of it with them but over a period of years they have been open to welcoming me into the group and we have spent many fun times on activities ranging from cruises to reunions!  Kathy and LaRue did come to the memorial service  the end of March and have been a wonderful support to Judy and me over the years.  In the picture from left to right is Del and LaRue, Kathy, and back row her husband Don and me (in case you forgot who i am).  We had a wonderful visit and dinner together and enjoying a round of golf tomorrow (supposed to be high 90s in Omaha with humidity).  Thought I'd share that last part in case I don't survive the weather and golf game!

When the girls came to the memorial, I noted that each of them had known Judy longer than anyone else who were able to make the memorial.  They outdo my 58 years by at least 10 more!!!!
