I have a very warm memory of Uncle Mikey. It’s a small gesture for him but a warm memory for me. As we did most summers, we vacationed at Trails End. It was on one of those trips that many of us were there together, so many of us. I was about 12 and sleeping in the tent with many of my cousins. Felt so grown up being away from the parents. In the night, as I lay in my cot, I heard footsteps in the gravel and they’re heading my way. A cold sweat breaks out. Im having flashbacks to a visit to Trails End when I stayed a week with grandma and bandit. I must have been 10. Laying in the trailer on the sofa bed, trying to sleep, listening to grandma and bandit snoring, I heard footsteps in the gravel. They started in the back of trailer and walked around the trailer on the side I was sleeping. A cold sweat broke out as I imaged a serial killer coming for us. I waited. And waited as the steps come to the door and stopped. I heard rustling and the steps then moved off. I breathed again and finally fell asleep. Next morning grandma said it was a raccoon but I had my doubts. It sounded human. So I’m laying there in the tent as still as I can, listening to the footsteps, I thinking I was right, the madman with the knife is back. I’m sweating waiting for the end to come, the tent flap moves, someone is there and….I feel my blankets being pulled up to cover my shoulders. It was Uncle Mikey checking on us. I immediately felt warm, cared for, loved. Cold sweat gone, murderers forgotten, I fell into a peaceful sleep. I’m 56 and that simple gesture created a memory I still carry fondly today. With love, Diana Wanamaker Yanda Niece Daughter of Anna and John Wanamaker

Thank you Diana for sharing the memory! We always looked forward to going to Trails End and spending time with the family. Many good memories there, we spent so much time outside I don't even remember what the inside of the trailer looked like.

Dear Mrs. Wojtowicz and Family, Yesterday I read the obituary for your husband in the Express Times. I remember meeting your kind husband at one of the back-to-school nights when I taught German at Warren Hills. All of your children were always so well behaved, had such good manners. The two of you have given the world a wonderful legacy with your children. I have fond memories of "Christof", Teresia, and Marie as my students. May the many happy memories of your beloved husband comfort you and your family during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, "Frau" Tina Haas
