Jackie (Mrs.) Mory and family, I was very sorry hearing about the passing of Luther. I truly have very fond memories of him, especially during my playing years, well beyond high school and into the "adult" leagues, Witwer Jones years etc.. I also have great memories of you, "Mrs." Mory, as one of my favorite Canary teachers, oh so long ago. May his memories always be a blessing and bring you smiles. All my best to the entire Mory family.
