Deborah Buckley here. I just moved back to Cleveland after leaving 41 years ago. I 'Googled' David and was so, SO sorry to read of his passing. I would LOVE to reconnect with Marilyn, David JR., Besty and / or Peter - the latter three of whom I babysat in the 60's and 70's. My email is [email protected]. So many fond memories of my time with the Ludwicks!!
