Dear Dad,

Another year has passed, now it's 52 years.. Since that spring day, April 15, 1960. I miss you so much. We had very little time together. I was only 7 years old and Billy was 3 1/2. You now have your little brother Butts with you, so you can raise havoc on your wheels.
Make sure all your Highway Patrol Brothers are in a good formation. You know Mom knows the drill.
Until we meet again Dad. I love you .
Your loving Daughter
