Terry taught me how to shoe a horse..I guess he could do just about anything and do it well.

Terry was a great friend as well as a truly good person. He was probably the best quarterback to ever graduate from Mason.

I just heard about the passing of Terry. Long ago when I worked in Mason he was so nice to let Pat Grote and I bring our 4-H Horse Judging Team out to practice judging. They saw what the "top of the class" was supposed to look like while practicing there. Sympathy and prayers to the family.
