Most sincere thoughts and prayers to the McCachren family and friends in the loss of Mr. McCachren.. I remember them from Rocky River Presbyterian in my childhood, as well as school with Myra and Billy and many of their other family members, at Harrisburg, and Central Cabarrus High School in Concord.

Bill was my first supervisor when I came to the Concord PO as postal clerk. He taught me all I ever needed to know about "sticking mail". He will be missed.
