Memories!

We walked around the AZ yard today.  It looks so nice although Jean says that she is behind on her work out there. Not too surprising, is it? She had been taking such good care of Mel this past year.  We are having
such nice visits with her. It is so strange not to have Mel around. Jean has helped me be more at peace with not having been here in Mel's last months. I hope that we have been good for her also. I know that having her brother and his wife here in the area part of this winter is very nice for her. Gerrit's dog 'Zeus' is good company also! Joel is coming for three days the end of this week.
Gerrit is in training for his new flying job and knows that he will be stationed in LA when he is finished with that in about a month and a half. It's possible that he will stay with Jean and commute to LA from Phoenix.

The picture of a picture with the planes is of Mel in the foreground in his plane above Viet Nam!

The writing at the bottom left is:
Captain Mel Vos of VMF (AW) leads Capt Tyson past the Rockpile US Marine outpost and old Razorback South of the DMZ in RVN.

VMF(AW) means Marine All-weather Fighter Squadron
RVN means Republic of Viet Nam
