I have known Laddie and Rose Lee for a very long time! I attended first grade at Bishopville Elementary for 1/2 school year and Bethune Elementary for 3 years. During this time I spent the night at their home several times. Laddie would get me to school on time in Bethune if it was on a school night. My Aunt Illa Belle was Rose Lee sister. I enjoyed many fine moments and fond memories staying with Laddie and Rosa Lee Nason. God bless the Nason family! I will miss you both! Love,
