    Denny and Gary, so sorry to read about Ronnie. I can still remember the 70's when i worked at the Crawford Morris Labor Company bringing you all lumber when the whole family were ALL building houses! Can still hear him saying, "what am i supposed to do with this stuff, were building a house, NOT rocking chairs. We don't have time to set around here. Take that junk back"! And i would. We have lived the best of times years ago. Prayers to all the family.
