Thanks Finn. I agree. This is really nice to read.
Chris, I just found out about Polly’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of our growing up years. I distinctly remember the impersonations she would do and her passion for music. All the German I know I learned from Polly! I hope your memories of her bring you some peace during this difficult time.
Chris and Family, I just learned about this today, December of 2025. Pam Z and I have been wondering how to find and get in touch with her. Now to find we are too late. I have fond and many memories of Polly, you and your mom and dad. My deepest sympathies to you all. Marilee
