Russet came down Thursday night and I worked a half-day Friday so that we could get into Phoenix early enough to get a decent night's sleep before the memorial service Saturday evening. We also had an engagement Saturday afternoon: Jason's mother invited us over to view three scrap books about Jason that she had previously made (Jason was her firstborn and thus the most thoroughly documented).

They later moved to El Paso and then to Tempe.
