Marilyn....I was saddened to learn of Jim's passing. I will always cherish the memories and good times we had at NEA conventions over the years.

Mrs. Galer and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Mr. Galer. Having you as a second and third grade teacher, I learned all about your family and what a special person Mr. Galer was.

I know he will be missed. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
