Evert and Arlene were my favorite customer on our Seattle Times newspaper route. Every Thursday, they would tape a bag of candy treats to the door for us to pick up! My siblings and I always argued over who got to deliver “The Candy Man’s” paper- especially in Thursdays! (Picking up the treat meant you got first dibs- very important to us kids!)
We visited with Evert and Arlene several times over the years and they came to my wedding reception. I am sad I did not make the effort to see them again later in life. They were both very happy and cheerful people. Always happy to see us at the door.
I recall one visit we made, Ev shared his military career experiences with us; showing the room he kept all his photographs and memorabilia in.
I have long cherished my memories of him and Arlene- they always warm my heart and bring a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing them in my life. <3
