Prayers to Mr. Bartley's family. I had him as a teacher in psychology class. His classroom windows overlooked the new Gym and Hayden West. Watched the bricklayers while in his class. Great man and good teacher.

Dear Marlene,
You know how much Neil meant to our whole family. He was a tremendous help to us regarding home improvements and repairs for over 20 years and became a trusted, dear friend. He was there for us almost immediately whenever we needed his help - once even on Thanksgiving day!

Take care!
