Dear Gloria and Ray

Just haven't gotten much information 

people just don't answer, except

the one Gust whose name should be John

in Seattle but he didn't know much.

Xmas is soon here and I guess I am as

ready as I usually am .

Dad hasn't felt too good lately, sorta 

sick feeling he says all over but he eats

and sleeps good, which is good. 

We are so happy Elaine is at last feeling

good and looks better, think I told you 

she lost 43 lbs. in a very short period

and after Drs. gave her all sorts of tests, sent 

her to this Lab. and that, they decided it 

was an over active thyroid and she is 

taking medication, she looked terrible for awhile,

she hasn't lost any more weight the last 3 weeks.

I guess we will go to Miltons at Van Nuys for 

Xmas day and to Riv. Xmas Eve to be with 

Elaine as she works Xmas will also see Flo's

Hope you folks are all well and 

have a very Happy Xmas and New Year

and [m]any more to come.

            Lovingly Aunt Olga
