To John's sisters. I just heard of John's death from Jane Milton Cowles. I am very very saddened by it. He was a fine person. I saw him occasionally at parties here (I live in FL now) and always enjoyed our conversations. He was one of my childhood friends. I will miss him.

Johnny and I were friends since elementary school. There was group of about half a dozen of us who virtually lived at his house right up college. His parents always made us feel welcome. John you will be sorely missed. Rest well my friend!

He was one of my favorite teachers ever!! May have been the only one I learned any history from. He and Rod Woods taught my 8th grade class. Not to deny the good teachers I had up to that point but having 2 young men was a very different experience. I loved 8th grade because of them.

Though we only seemed to meet around holidays, I liked John very much while growing up in Arlington and admired his caring choice of a teaching career in West Virginia. My parents were Frank and Betty Embrey who were friends of your parents. I am friends with "BoBo," who lives in the Hamptons and who I know is a very old and good friend of your family. I hope she has been informed. God Bless you all.
