I had hoped to pay Carl and Sue a visit this winter while I was in Florida. Then I realized I wasn’t sure where you spent time anymore ....l still use a dentist in Norwich and planned to give you a call and spend an afternoon with both of you in New Berlin. Sue was a great friend and I so admired her pluck in the way she dealt with her health issues. God bless her and her family.
