    Dear Richard and Sandy’s Family:

    Sharon and I express our condolences to you on the death of Sandy. We watched the very touching photo display and discovered we had more in common than we knew. I too like to can and will exhibit at the Maryland State Fair in August. Also, I wanted to see the fishing bobber go down since fishing is a life-long hobby for me. We will not be able to return for the funeral on Monday, but we will be in Indiana later in the week for a family visit and a conference in Fort Wayne. We’ll try to stop by then.

    Gene and Sharon Swackhamer
