Rest In Peace, Big O. You fought the good battle and now it's time to rest. I knew you from the early 50's 'til I was blown out of town by the '74 tornado. I knew through your relationship with The Gazette from newspaper carrier to the composing room. I remember your terrible accident of '58 and the direct hit of the tornado on the family home. Sleep well and in peace, Orville.
