Bobbie, So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He is remembered fondly by many here in North Baltimore and we have missed him since he moved to be closer to you. I also have many memories of having your mother as my first grade teacher. Rest in Peace Mr. Mong. Jill Guy
ReplyDeleteRIP Mr. Mong, I will remember our chats as you sat on the old stone wall when you were walking to the post office!
ReplyDeleteBobbie, I am so sorry to read of your Dad's passing. I am sure you do not remember me, but my family attended the presbyterian church in NB. I remember your grandmother as the librarian in our school. Although I was a little older so didn't have your mom as a teacher I certainly do remember her. Your dad loved to tinker around the house and I do remember that he loved to read. He was also a bus driver when I was in high school and drove the band on many trips! In a side note, I was a friend of Joyce Fox, as our kids dated for awhile in high school and she happened to obtain your Christmas CD for me and I play it during the Christmas season and think of you and your parents fondly.
