quite a bit. Due to him being a little older he was always trying to get us in
trouble. He was a wild one, married 3 times, divorced twice, drank heavily,
chain smoked and lived on the edge.
Julie died of spinal meningites at the age of 15 years.
Joanne died from ovarin cancer, she suffered quite some time with it, Norman
her husband could not pay all the bills, although his insurance with Fords was
good, it wouldn't cover it all and they were in fear of loosing all they had,

everything. This was the family story, and perhaps it is correct, but it
doesn't sound accurate, probaly more to it than we know.
