Tim: With the passing of my Marge Norfleet Keown I lost my source of information in Jefferson City. So this message is WAY late. My heart goes to you and know your healing is already underway. Your entire family was always dear to me as a young teenager. You were like the Cleavers with the big tough Marine father; little bitty sweet mother (whose power was well hidden but formidable); a big sister who was the perfect example; a big brother who was my dearest and most influential friend and you a cute little brother I gave rides to with Kim Neidert when I was a senior (because the big bro expected no less of me). If we ARE those people who brought us into the world and shared development, you Tim are the GREATEST! Annie (Keown) Ritter
