hey allan
sorry to hear about your dad, I know how may feel. I seriously don't know what to say because i always thought that people would say the weirdest things to me when my dad died. I hope your doing good man and know that I am always there for you. Call me man, hope you guys are well. Take care.
You don't know me, I Googled, "Van Draper," as we dated some in high school, I lived in Ontario, and I wrote to him while he was in the army. I think he may have been a senior when we met. We met at a church dance in Nyssa, and I knew his brother, Lynn, as well. We reconnected briefly after his army stent, but we parted ways. I graduated high school in 1970. I'd love to see a more recent pic and have always wondered how his life went. His son, Allan, does look a lot like him. Thank you for any info. you are willing to provide. I'll give you may email, if you are willing to share. Debi (Sutton) Davis
