At Mitch & Vena's 50th Aniversary party in Temple I learned a lot. The things their friends, who drove from Little Rock, metioned time and time again were the parties they had had together. They were fun people and were well loved by their friends. Having a good time is very impotant in life. All of the family get togethers were always a lot of fun.

Pete and Ginger you both are our family heros. You took over when Bill and I could not. Thank you so much. I have been part of the Crippen family for 40 years, even though am young at heart, and I have loved every minute of it.
