From close family friend

Hi ! Lil, I'm not sure if you remember just who I am but I will give you
my memory of my first meeting with Hap & you. It was in Santa Barbara, CA
many years ago. I was working in my front yard, (we lived in a rear house) when I looked up to see
someone coming down our long driveway. I was very startled as I thought it
was my Dad who was deceased but it looked just like him. As Hap got closer
I realized this man was younger but the Keinath similarities were there. He
introduced himself to me & told me he was visiting his son who was attending UCSB & that he had seen another
Keinath in the phone book so you decided to check it out. If I remember
right all 3 of you stayed for a visit that day & we have stayed in touch all these years. I still am not sure
just exactly what the relationship was to my Dad & Hap but there is no doubt
that they are blood relatives.

Lil, I thank you for allowing me to be a part of this memory book for Hap.

I hope you will stay in touch & your son as well. If you & Hap ever figured
out what the relationship was to my Dad I would love to know what it was . I
think Hap was a nephew to one of my Dads brothers but not sure who. So glad to hear from you & hope
you are staying well. I turned 82 last May but feeling like I was only 65.
