Dear Cheryl,
Please accecpt my most sincere sympathies on the passing of your father.
I just received my latest alumni magazine from Bridgewater State and I read that a Cheryl Fogarty ahd been inducted in to the Burlington High School Hall of Fame. I hope that this was you. It seemed to be the right one. Congratulations on this achievement. I don't suppose that it makes any diffreence, but I was inducted into the Mass Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2002.I'm sure your father would have been happy that a boy from Medford had this distinction.
My best to you!
Red Murphy
