Hi Eleanor,
Please update me on your dad and with an address for brother Bob.
Sarah informed me about Hospice when I phoned apologies for missing the 60th wedding anniversary celebration, but I hesitate to bother her after three failed efforts to get a Hennessee Reunion notice to Bob.

- Following up on earlier email:
Sarah is widow of Robert Horace "RH" Hennessee Jr, son of Wren Hennessee, descendant of William Richard Hennessee, who moved from Burke to McDowell 28 Feb 2014:
County in the 19th Century and whose descendants occasionally visited in Burke. "RH" was a highway construction engineer who built expressways including those here in Forsyth County and wife Sarah worked with my Betty at Baptist Hospital, the coincidence that had us visiting back and forth here and in Marion after he retired and particularly after RH and Sarah moved to the Masonic Home in Greensboro, where he died several years ago. Son is also an engineer, now living in Alabama, and daughter lives in Durham.
