OOPS, I wasn't ready to post! First mistake of many, I'm guessing :(
I wanted to add this: one of the main things I remember about Dale was this: when my father Leo would have a special on green peppers for a nickel each, he and his brothers would come to the store with big smiles on their faces (esp Billy) and buy as many as they could and eat them raw. They LOVED them! I remember my dad and mom thought they were so cute.
Now I'm ready to post!
