Hello,
I found an English in Action schoolbook that Mr. Hugh owned and doodled in back in 1942. He was a tremendous calligrapher and wonderful artist. My wife and I homeschool our children and are always looking for older textbooks. I am always pleased to find writing from the past. I am a twenty year Nave veteran and have a brother in Iraq right now in the Air Force. I would like to thank you for your husband's, and father's service to our country. God bless you. Sincerely, Charles Cohn Panama City Florida.

Dear Jan Allen,
Just a note to express my sincere condolences. Our Dads were roommates at the Fountains. Every morning when I'd bring my Dad his newspaper and I'd say "Hi Dad", your Dad would say "Is that you, Janet?" (Thinking it was you.) He was a very sweet man and you were lucky to have such a nice Dad who loved you very much.
Thank you for your friendship,
Jan Perry (Ross Madden's daughter)

Dear Cousins, We are all sorry to hear about your Dad. We will miss him very much. It seems such a short time ago that I drove him to the airport so he could return to you. We are grateful that things worked out so that you could have some quality time with him. Love, Glen and Joy
