Hello,
Hello,
One of our great adventures together was a cruise to Alaska. Mom, Terry and I shared an outside cabin with a patio. We took a train trip on the White-Yukon Railroad and it was the first time that Mom had left the United States. The cruise was her 80th birthday present from her CA family and she absolutely loved it. We docked in Vancouver and Samantha picked us up. We even stopped at a yard sale in Canada. One of our many exciting adventures together. She was always up for an adventure.
In 1970 I was assigned to Wright-Patterson AFB as a young, brand-new Air Force 2nd Lieutenant. One of the first projects I was assigned to do on my own was a work-flow improvement study at the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory where Alice worked. She "took me under her wing" and guided me through the process, advising me on the somewhat difficult personalities within the unit I was to study. Her involvement was key to my development as a young officer.
When I first met Alice, one of the things she did was tell me about her daughters, whose photos were on her desk. Little did I know that, some many months later, she would introduce me to her beautiful daughter, Kathy, who became my wife in November of 1972. Thanks, Alice, for Kathy and my wonderful daughter, Samantha.
While helping make quilts for kids, Mom would tell about the time she and Jack spent the night at her Grandma Price's.
It was still daylight when they had to go to bed, so she and Jack wisely spent their time untying all the knots in the bed quilt. Grandma Price was not pleased....
This is one of the reasons we thought a "knot-in" for the teachers of Paradise would be an appropriate tribute to her.
