Gracie died in September, and I reached out and kissed her on her lips, which closed an era of about 70 years. I remember our first date back in 1949, she always said my kisses were good. Through the years, we had many good times together, and then she helped me build the Telephone company from the ice storms of 1949 to today, which is now from 3 telephones working to recently 12,000. I will always miss her.
