Dear Dean & Jim;
Your Dad (& Mom) were strong influences to me during our grade school childhoods... more-so than I've every spoken. Mr Wilson helped me to better understand life @ my most fragile age, & helped me to know right from wrong. I just want you both to know that I will always remember him as a great man. All my love & strength ~
