    John, It has been a lot of years since the dental lab and J. Henderson Evans. I think of the "Hiser Boys" often. I would like to extend my sympathy to the family. Take care.

    You may have thought we didn't see, Or that we hadn't heard, Life lessons that you taught to all of us, But we got every word. Perhaps you thought we missed it all, And that we'd grow apart, But Dad, we picked up everything, It's written on our hearts. Without you, Dad, we wouldn't be The women we are today; You built a strong foundation No one can take away. We've grown up with your values, And we very glad we did; So here's to you, dear father, From your forever grateful girls A loving father - daugher bond last forever Your daughers, Sue, Karen and Brenda.
