    So sorry to hear about Uncle Eliab’s passing. I have many fond memories of visiting all of you in Hodge’s Cove over the years and the great Sunday supper we had. In later years I always remember him when I finish a book. I wonder if he has read it. I think appreciated the time I asked Lester Green to drop off a signed copy of his book on the local people that served in the military. Take care and God Bless.
