Dear Kay, Jim & Teresa, we were so sorry to hear about "Mr. Chapman" passing away. Guess I just got used to calling him that out of respect. He was a great teacher! We sure miss all of our old friends and neighbors back in Laurel. Usually read the Gazette every day. That's how we learned about Herb. Our thoughts and our prayers are with all of you at this time!
