My heartfelt condolences go out to all of Preston's family. I haven't seen him in 62 years but I recall many adventures with him. I was 8 and he was 11 when I lived at 26 Elm Street. He convinced me to help putting up the circus so we would get free tickets for our labor. We walked the brook almost to the falls on our way home from school And I didn't forget where we fished for the big suckers in the creek that ran behind his house nor the swimming hole and the swing tire attached to the tree. Also the adventures at the golf course and the water hazards. Oh yes, and his effort to train his dog to fetch golf balls. Preston, Rest in Peace you left me and others with many fine and lasting memories.
