We did visit quite often Dad and Mother especially on Sundays. I do remember playing anagrams with Gram - (a game that Scrabble evolved from). Gram and Gramp Rob played dominos at their kitchen table often. In fact Lonnie took pictures of them at this. I sent these to Jan, Chuck's daughter, some years ago.
