I believe Doris and John drove their station wagon for the SW Christian School paper drive in 1960. I was in Audrey's class and we were 9th graders doing the paper drive thing. I can hardly believe that they would do that with all those children at home but I think I am right. I am a second cousin so it impressed me. I also stole my first kiss in that back of that station wagon on that night so I remember it rather well. Memorable stuff, especially since I went on to become principal some of her grandchildren at Holland Christian. My sympathies to the families who are grieving her loss. I also believe she was named for the Sea Captain's daughter Dirkje Kuipers DeGraaf. Ken Kuipers
