To the Ralph Pate Family,
My brother and I started the first grade of school in Caryville, Fla. around 1954 or 55. He is one of my longest remembered acquaintances from that area. I was saddened when my brother "Rick Peers told me of his passing. We are praying for you and yours during this time in the First Baptist Church in Carencro, LA. Bro. Nick Peters
