Jim:
THANK YOU. I guess at the time, I wasn¹t into these McCulley¹s and just sent
it to you and Jack back in 2006 without posting. I¹ll re-date it 6 Jan 2010
in my file.
In looking at this obit again, I may possibly have made a typo in that Jock
Baker should be ³Jack² [John Lawrence] Baker. Notice no mention of Murray as
a ³brother².
One less name in the bucket list for the next trip and a new name, Ruth
Marsh.
Dave
