Henry, I appreciate your dedication in placing obits on the list. I have special interest in this one, since we were tenant farmers on the Heiser farm from 1946-48. I was about 12 and Shirley was 17. I barely remember her then. The Heiser place was Dad's first effort at farming on his own. Marven Weitzel On Wed, 28 Mar 2007 07:40:32 -0700 "Henry L.
