I am in Waldorf, Maryland but a Raleigh girl. Teenage Frolics was one of a kind and a saving grace for teens! I am sad but happy to know of JD Lewis.

To the Lewis Family, although I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lewis, as a member of First Baptist Church, it was my pleasure to send him a "Thinking of You" card monthly. My prayers are with your family.
