Dear Darling Sweetheart,
Again, today I am missing you. I reread your 1954 letters and love you more as I reread them.
I went to the dentist today to get my teeth cleaned. You would be proud of me -- I told them that I didn't want xrays today. I'm going to Dr. Bond on Thursday and I just didn't want to do it.

Dr. Powers came in and said, "I sure miss the big guy." I didn't cry. (I am now.) He said that he will always remember talking to you at Rotary on Wednesday, the day before you died. You asked how James, his son, was and said to tell him "hello" for you. Dr. Powers said he called James that night and told him, never dreaming that it would be your last conversation. Dr. Powers says that you are remembered and mentioned at Rotary often. I asked if James still owns part of Barnhill's. Yes and they have 32 restaurants now. James sold the water company (Crystal Springs) for $17 million. Of course, he had partners.
James is still in Phoenix but will be moving the business back to Nashville one day.
Give Janice* a hug and kiss for me. I miss you, Darling. I love you so.
Norma
Notes:
Janice was Jim and Norma's daughter who died in 1968.
