Dear Ralph, I was surprised to come across the name Hoagland in the Globe Obituaries today. Unlike the name Murphy or O'Brien, Hoagland is not a name you hear every day - it's been 45 years for me!! Was saddened to hear of your mother's passing, but I see she certainly lived a very long and, hopefully, productive and happy life! I hope you and your family have many fond memories to share to help you through this difficult time. It's been such a long time since the inception of Consumer Value Stores! I'm sure she was extremely proud of all your accomplishments! My condolences to you and your family, Ralph.
