Yvonne and I express condolences to the Family. J.C.and I were close friends at KSC. I majored in Agriculture, and J.C. in Chemistry. During my 2nd Year, Chemistry was a required course, and I worked in the Campus Dining Room. At night, I carried Food to J.C.'s Room. Then, he helped me solve Chemistry Home Work. I graduated in 1955, and subsequently earned a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Cincinnati(1971). The last time I saw J.C. was during our 50th Anniversary from KSC. Also, I admired J.C. for his Service and support to our Alumi Association. Dr. Paul Edmonds, Atlanta, GA (4/21/2013)

Dr. Letton was amazing leader in the KSU Cincinnati Alumni family. He was committed to serving our beloved Kentucky State University and always shared his knowledge and passion with the younger generations. It was an honor to be in his company. My players are with the Letton Family.

Letton was a great friend, brother (Q) and scholar.
His humor was always on point and he was always in a good mood.
I will miss him at K S U.
My prayers to the family.
