Scribner, NE Friday, February 17, 2023 Connie, We are sorry for your loss. It was quite a shock to see that Merwin had passed. I don't have a phone # for you or I would call. I will send a card and perhaps you can send me your # as I would like to keep in touch with you. I will also take care of a memorial for Merwin. Is there a special place you would like it sent? perhaps the Musbach Museum in Scribner or your church? Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
