To Brother Earl Schofield & Family-
My deepest sympathies go out to you all, for the two losses that you have suffered recently. Knowing that your mom was a Club 9 member and a striker at P&W from 1960, I would like to express my deep appreciation to her for making the sacrifices she did 46 years ago, so that all of us today can enjoy better lives.
Thank you, Frances.
