We (S E. and Doris Thomas) are sad to learn of Bill and Shirley's passing, having found out by finding this obituary. We knew each other back in the mid-1970s when Bill and S E. were stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska. We got reacquainted a few years later when we were stationed at Redstone Arsenal and Bill & Shirley were retired in Huntsville. For decades, we had exchanged Christmas gifts - an Alaska Magazine subscription from us and a poinsettia from the Bryants. We have such fond memories of them and the family. We had always hoped the magazine would inspire them to come back for a visit.
