To Ela, with Love, Peace, and Aloha!
May God bless you as you have blessed me with your friendship. I will always remember you. You made all my school years in North Tyler TX worth remembering, especially, of all things, Miss Smith's first grade class in the basement of Marsh Elementary, yes, since that very first day I ever walked into a school classroom back in September 1952, when I was a tender and callow fellow, and a very scared little guy -- you were a fine friend.

Grew up around the corner from Ela and loved to go to her house and climb the best climbing tree ever. She was always very sweet to me. Wish we had kept in better touch.
