I knew Les and Nancy by their living beside my Uncle Bill Williamson on County Line Road, Hobart.  Les let me work with him on a house for his father-in-law when I came off active Army 1972 and before my returning to Florida school.  I enjoyed the great experiences with Les and the daily family lunches!
