Audrey: He always enjoyed a joke and laughed a little, but he was very quiet. He was a quiet man and I was talkative. When I was first married, he never said a word and I gabbed all the time. He would sit in his chair and fall asleep. I’d go to bed and let him stay there. He was so tired from his work.

He liked Gladys and Catherine. Ruth was working then and we didn’t see her so much, but she was very nice and Dad thought the world of her also. Ruth is a great studier.
