Addendum:


Dear Steve,

Thank you for sharing these great stories. It will be even more interesting to watch Ford vs Ferrari another time.

Our best wishes to Roy on completing 14 and getting prepared for the next phase of her life.

Please also say hello to Margaret. I hope she is keeping good health.

Regards to you both. Mohan,

Steve,

I remember when your parents built that house on the “Wild Mouse!”

Ten years ago, our youngest son married the daughter of a BYU Engineering prof (Randy Lewis) who lives just down the street; theirs is the last house at the bottom of the Mouse.

I remember countless times riding my bike UP that dang hill! Poor Tom had to walk both ways to Wasatch for a whole year in the 4th grade because he got caught flipping off the driver and refused to apologize! He recently found the aged driver living in Idaho and made things right with him.
