    My daughter Carerra Cruikshanks is not there. My Daughter Cortnee’s last name is spelled wrong. (Dingess ).

      Sorry…I did read it very carefully to you here in the office; there is still time to fix it in the newspaper. I don’t have a phone number for you. Please let me know here, or by email at news@journal-leader.com, exactly how to spell Cortnee’s last name. I’ll add Carerra Cruikshanks to the survivors. Right?

            Glora, would you please rewrite the entire thing, and submit it to me at news@journal-leader.com? There have been too many cooks making this broth. 😉

    His daughter’s name is Glora- no “I” in it. Thank you for taking the time to write about my grandfather. He will be greatly missed.
