The pictures are in Grandpa and Grandma's unit in 1962 soon after they came. Note how well dressed our family is for visiting which was traditional for us. Visiting was a "dress up" occasion. I was looking sharp with bow tie and sweater.
I have many memories of visiting Grandpa and Grandma over the 13 years they were there. Grandpa was very deaf so made up for it by doing most of the talking. My Mom had a strong voice and could still carry on a conversation with him. But mostly I remember Grandpa telling stories, and Grandma's high pitched laugh at all his jokes.
Grandma would sing for us children. She sang "The Ninety and Nine" and "Dare to Be a Daniel." Visiting my Grandparents and seeing their strong faith in God, and in particular Grandma's singing for us had a strong effect on my life and my own faith.

I had forgotten the year that they moved to NB. Dad and I helped move them. Henry and Barry Frey brought their big three ton truck and we loaded stuff in that. Barry and I rode in the back to NB. The old house in Landis hasn't been lived in since, I don't think.
Yes I remember all of you coming with Frey's truck. We have a picture when you stopped with the truck at our old house before going on to the lodge.
Could you scan and send me that picture? Thanks so much.
