Sorry to be late in submitting this. I knew Rosie and Noel from Bader in days past. Worked once with Noel detasseling corn for Mummert seed co., after he got out of the service.One time he took me out on the Il. river with him. Rosie always remembered me through the years. They were both good hearted folks and I'm sure we will see them again. Gene Edwards
