Pam, Ken and family
I was so sorry to read of Ken’s father’s passing. Losing a parent is difficult, I know. I’m sure you have many fond memories.
Pam, it’s been quite a while since we worked together, but I always enjoyed seeing you. FYI… my mint that you gave me so many years ago is still prospering.
Fondly,
Jo Gray

Ken
Sorry for the loss of your father you are in my thoughts and prayers. I worked for the city of Easton back in the 80’s when you did risk management
