"I remember cousin Judy (adopted by Henry and Lillian Hamilton) when I lived in Lamberton, Mn before I was 8 years old (Judy was 8 years older than me). When I walked to aunt Lillian's stucco home on occasion, I remember Judy and I would talk. In my later years I have been in email contact once in awhile with Judy and talked with her maybe a year ago by phone. jim steinle Swanville, Mn"
