To The Sharpe Family,
I'm truly sadden to hear about the passing of my classmate Boogie. We made a lot of fond memories throughout our high school years, working at Snowden Garage and enjoying many trips in his 1941 Buick. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
With deepest sympathy,
Robert Welch, TIHS c/o 1961
