They lived in Highgrove on Michigan Ave. from 1955 to 1990. They had 4 children Donald, Linda, Sue and Cindy who all attended Highgrove El- ementary School and North High School. Bill worked at A. M. Lewis for 31 years and retired in 1986, Dorothy worked at Harris Co. in Riverside from 1963 to 1973, and they moved to St. George, Utah in 1992. It was a very special celebration for two very special people. Halloween Safety Guide Anytime a child has an accident, it’s tragic.
