A couple details. Frederick Walter McQuigg died in Sioux Falls, SD on February 2, 1965. It was horribly cold and icy and Linda's dad drove all day from Columbia to get there and Pop died before he could make it. He was so tired but we were so tired and glad to see him (because we waited a long time for him) and he barely got in the door of that waiting room and we jumped and said, "Oh, he is already dead!" and he just about collapsed like he had been punctured. We all got in our cars and drove to the air port in Sioux City, IA to meet Jerry flying in from KC. From Sioux City on to Schaller, it was Dottie and Jerry in their car (Dottie had been staying in Sioux Falls with Granny Mac for weeks while Pop died), Jim and Granny Mac in his car and me in mine (I had driven over from Owatonna, MN and stayed with them because he was so bad) on sheer ice. It was awful. Just don't know if you have ever heard that story. - Ruthie McQuigg
