I'd like to thank my good friend Sharon Orahood Lyell, ([email protected]), for sending me Ethel Nay's death notice along with the accompanying photo, (which did not appear with the original articles.) This is one of four death notices that she sent me this past November and which I will be posting on the website along with family photographs which she has graciously shared with me. Sharon, thanks so much! I really do appreciate all of your help and your endless patience. It's meant a lot to me. All my best, Chris
