We have shared many memories with Dick and Loretta in our AF days and after. We remember a Thanksgiving dinner that Loretta prepared and served Oyster dressing. Being from the South, we did not know what to expect, but it was delicious. We have lots of memories! Loretta and I driving to work in Omaha in the ice and snow and laughing all the way! When she was in San Antonio, shopping at Dillards was our first stop. We had such fun! The Lord bless her and keep her. She will be missed. Dick, please come and see us when you are ready!
