Sorry to hear of the death of S. O. He did the beautiful tile work and other nice additions to our house in Tucumcari on Third St. I also remember him as one of the team that won the NM State Basketball Championship Tournament in 1950. My sympathy to Eunave and also Dorothy and the rest of the family.
