My thoughts and prayers go out to Mari Lynn and Mike and the family. Spent several good days and evenings at the Frey household. They were a big part of the South High Wildcats Marching Band Booster. Mari Lynn was a great friend and I worked for Mike at the Upper Valley Mall as Santa Clause in 1976.
