People always say I look like my mother - until I show a picture of my Dad. He was taken from our family when I was 7 and my brother was 21 months old. He has two beautiful grand-daughters. His wife Sonja never remarried - he was the love of her life. She still counts their anniversaries. Would have been 53 years last year. If you knew him I would like to hear from you. What was he doing right before he died? What were his last conversations about? Did he show you pictures of us? Do you know anything about Camp Gaylor? Does it still exist? I keep thinking I should go there. Even after 41 years he is still loved and missed.

From his daughter,
Elaine (Gaylor) Hardison
