Uncle George, I remember as a little girl you came home for a visit. You put me in front of Grandma’s radio and left the room. A short time later a voice came over the radio stating this was “Nancy’s radio station” and you read me a story. Later in life I always enjoyed your stories and will miss them along with our visits. Love, your niece Nancy.
