Mom (Mary Wilkinson Ruhge Hoback)  and Dad, Lynn Leroy Hoback;
Through their hard work, perseverance, trust, loyalty, dedication
……….. and most of all…….. their love for family, friends……..
and to us, their children.  It is from them, that these words come forth.
 

Marylynn, Florence Maseman, Bonita Johnson Drake, and Me …. 1949

 
I also would have run aground , were it not for the loving guidance of my dear great Aunt Florence of Avoca, NE.
Committed to a wheelchair (or a chair with wheels) for much of her life, a bit of personal philosophy passed from her to me:
"give to the world,
The best that you have,
And the best will come back to you"
The Golden Rule of Life
