As a classmate of Luther Sutherland and graduated with him, I will always remember him. He was quiet but had a great smile for everyone. The one thing I remember the most is the senior trip when he and some others threw me in the swimming pool. I had on a dress which was a huge mistake. I remember him laughing and laughing.I wanted to cry but dared not let anyone know. It was one of the highlights of the trip. I know he will be missed by family and friends and my prayer go out to all of you during your time of sorrow. In spite of the pool incident he was one of the nicest, most respectable boys in school at ole Vanndale High. My love to all of you.
