Norman was my last living uncle on my fathers side of the family. My husband and I were fortunate
enough to visit Norm and Opal when they lived in Anchorage. We were able to see Opals knit shop
and also see the airfield and hangars where Norm worked. They were a cute, devoted little couple
and we thoroughly enjoyed them! It is sad to think of them both being gone.
