It’s been more years than I care to remember since I have spoken to ‘Mr. Anderson’. He always had a kind word and a watchful eye as I dated his Debbie. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers are with all the Anderson ‘girls’. Dave
Bud and me. Notice that the sun is in both our eyes! Lynn
Bud always told me that he was my only “blood” uncle, and I am proud that he was. Uncle Bud began his “blood uncle” duties when I was just a little tyke of about two (he was about 18). As the story has been told to me hundreds of times, Uncle Bud took me for a ride in his new car on a beautiful sunny day. As he was driving he heard me cry, “Bud! Bud! Owie in the baby eye!” Bud came to my rescue and quickly got the sun out of my eyes. Thanks for that, Uncle Bud, and for being my Blood Uncle. Love, Lynn
