Thanksgiving season will always bring the fondest of memories of dinner with the Powers: the warmth as one entered the McVicker's address from both the people and the food prep; the football games on TV and the football games across the street; the pies in the kitchen; the penny ante poker games (where I recall adults making sure kids left with some coins!). Later my Uncle Bill was my Confirmation sponsor, a celebrant at our wedding, and a man who I could call - only once or twice a year - and still feel as if time had not passed very much. Uncle Bill, I love you, you are missed, not forgotten, and loved by all. Your nephew, Michael
