Frye Families, Lois and Merle would let me shoot hoops, after dark, for a short while and would just come out and shut the light off for the court. I know they were not happy with me, but still let me shoot a few minutes each time. A wonderful memory of them both! So very sorry to see of her passing. God Bless!
