Issue Correction
We would like to correct two errors in the Jim Knapp obituary in the last issue. Knapp is survived by his brother William, and Joan’s sister’s children; Joan Rivers, Nancy Frischmann, Carrie Bolle, and Peter Ruliffson, and Joan’s grand-niece Melody Reimer. We would also like to credit Steve Griggs for sharing this beautiful obituary with our community.
