Message: It was such a shock to learn Dale had died.  I have such fond memories of the summers I spent with my cousins on their farms in ND.  As a young city kid, there was no end to the adventures with Dale and the others.  I'm so very grateful I got to visit with Dale last July as I passed through Carrington.  With much love,  Barry
