Helen Carstens


My daughter asked me who my favorite high school teacher was and that made me think of you Merlyn and your whole family. I am sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. I have so many memories of your family including your sister Marlis. Mom, Dad, my sister Carolyn and her husband Dick have passed away. Jorgen and I are still doing well splitting our time between Maine and Florida. However due to the pandemic we did not go to Florida last winter and may not spend too much time there this winter. I hope this finds you well Merlyn. Please tell your kids hello for me. I so enjoyed babysitting Susan, Scott and Jill. I still am in touch with Barb. Sadly she just lost her son. She is in South Carolina. I would love to hear from you. Take care.BZWKGp
