Dean, I have sent you an email about your father did you get it. I just wanted to let you know that my family knew your father and grandfather. Your father, as a young man, stayed on my father's farm before he enlisted into the service. My father was Clayborne Orrick of Graniteville, Missouri. During the time your father was at our farm I was not born yet. I was born in 1955. He only visited a few times after I was born. I have some pictures of your family that your father had sent my father and mother. I didn't know if your mom or you remember your dad telling you of this time that he spent with my father. Please reply! I would like to hear from you!
I also remember going to your father's funeral in 1963. It was such a great tragedy. My father thought of your father as a son, and it hurt him very much to know that you and your family would be without him.
Carol (Orrick) Swaringim
