Esther joined Anna and me 89 years ago in our 1 mile daily walk to and from #8 school. So quiet we hardly knew she was with us. Only the teacher knew she was smarter than any of us so unoretentious was her presence. And then Alf appeared and took this sweet loveable girl into a new world where the latent charm blossomed and when she visited us after maney years this always delighful girl was now a lady in every sence of the word. I,ll be soon joining Esther, but until then I cherish the memories that when added to all the others has made this life a wonderful journey. Alton Eliason
