There are too many good memories to write about. I especially remember spending the nights at Carp Lake in mid-Winter. Lack of heat and co-habitating wih a family of mice did not seem to bother us. Also remember driving your dad's car and running into a police car in West Branch. Oliver was very cool about it and only complained that we left a scratch on the dashboard. However, I don't think he ever invited us to use his car again to go up north!. I have wonderful memories of the entire Cope family and share in their sadness at losing one of their brightest stars. Love, Gennie
