Augustus C. "Guss" Barnwell

My deepest sympathy to the Barnwell Family. I don't even know how long I have known Guss. He was always at Forest Hills. He always had a smile and some type of hello for me. He will be missed by hundreds of people. Guss thanks for making my softball days enjoyable. I will really miss you. Mogie
