Bonnie was my sister and even a second Mom when she felt it was necessary. When I started school, she was teaching seventh grade. I would run to her classroom every recess in hopes she would keep me, so I wouldn't have to go back to that first grade classroom. They didn't have preschool or kindergarten in those days. Finally, the principal said, you will get a spanking if you go back, so that was the end of that situation. As Jack said in his life story with Bonnie, she would come home to Missouri, until there was family housing on the job site. I always look forward with great excitement to meeting her at the airport. She bought, my first bicycle with a shock spring, which made my ride on gravel roads much easier. In all aspects of my life she was kind, loving, and wonderful to me. We usually talk daily until she was not strong enough. She will live in my heart forever.
