A Flaming Letter

This is a note from somebody named Flaming.  It is written to my Grandmother who she calls Aunt Helen.  Pretty newsy and not very interesting.  I assume Grandpa had died by now because she mentions that Grandma must miss Uncle John.  I can't read the signature which is the person's first name.  One other interesting thing is the mention of Corn, Oklahoma.  This is the name of a town than I heard once in a while and I think it is where Olga's husband Bud was from.  (Olga is my Dad's sister.)  One other thing.  Flaming is a very common name in the Mennonite community and among our relatives.  However, I always thought it was spelled Fleming.  Would have lost a lot of money on that one.
