Dear Jim (Moke), I just learned of Reed's death and want to extend my condolences. Seems it's come to that time in life that we say good-bye to so many. Also just learned of Myra (Cookerly) Woodard and Jimmy Oden's deaths. Hope our paths cross again. Jean (McKinney) Mooney

I knew Reed from early high school days. I was from bartlesville and Reed, Jimmy Shull, Dan Gilliland all from Dewey. We used to get into a lot of mischief.
My sympathy goes out to his family.

Dear Wahnee Family: I was greatly saddened at the news of Reed's passing. He and I graduated together and he was always so nice. We had tried to find him to come to a reunion, but could not do so. Sharon (Middlebusher) Ethridge
