To Tom & the Dixon family. So sorry to hear about your mother.
It not real clear to me, but you father & my father were friends. Could have been King Edward Cigar. Tom, you & I went to Ribault together. I just over a month ago, I was sitting in a hospital in Charlotte. I had a Gator coat on, an a man said nice coat. Turns out, he went to Bishop Kenny and he said your name. I told him that I know Tom Dixon. This was in Charlotte, NC.
