Sorry to hear of Kieth's passing. I knew him from the north end of Springfield in the 50's and from Lanphier being a 58 grad too.

I am so sorry to hear of Harold's passing. Have not seen him in years, but remember him as a high school friend and the times we ran into each other over the years. Please accept my prayer for him and the family at this time.
