Gretta: Thank you very much. Yes, I would love to have an obituary for Burl or his wife, either one or both, copy cost and postage to be reimbursed, of course. I have an obit for Boyd Pointer, an older half-brother but that is the only one I have of the family at the moment. Another half-brother, Frank Courtwright is still living in Elmwood, Illinois and I'm going to write him this weekend and see if I can get a response. The weather has been a bit nasty up there (I live in NW Louisiana) recently. I'm wishing that it would stop raining here long enough for me to finish working my flower beds and getting them ready for the season. My wife and I will be traveling to Missouri the first week in March. We have appointments in St. Louis, were we lived for 25 years and Dad's birthday is March 3. He's in a nursing home in Rolla. Hope all is well with you. Thank you again. Bill Schwegler --- "Gretta J. Bolien" <[email protected]> wrote: > Do you have an Obit.?
