I have such fond memories of Gene, our neighbor and of course such a friendly and kind postmistress. I often went into the post office not for any reason other than to visit with Gene hoping that some of her genuine nature, her love, warmth and smiles would rub off on me. My condolences to Kathy, Evan, John, Peter and the entire extended Jaynes family.
I so remember coming to the house and asking Gene where Clarence might be. I was there to check his crops. It would take a while to find him and then a lot longer to talk and enjoy the conversation. What a wonderful kind lady.
