My fondest memory of Bud & Greta was at our niece JoAnn’s wedding. The band played a country western song. Bud and Greta got up & danced. They were the only ones on the floor & danced this country 2-step dance perfectly & seemed in another world. The love between those two was beautiful to see. Now they are together again.
