I was a 60 graduate of Bosse and my parents and Grandmother lived in the big red brick house in the field next to Walling Market in Mt Vernon after they moved back to Mt V and started Culleys Pharmacy on Main St. In 64 after graduating from the U of Illinois I went to Europe for 3 months. I had never met Lynn but it was arranged that I was to meet
him under the Arch de Triumph in Paris at a certain time and date. I dont remember if we went somewhere to eat or just walked around. I never saw Lynn again. I did know his sister Charlotte as well. Please accept my sympathy in the loss of your Father.

My heart is broken by the loss of my brother. He was so kind to me and always interested in my activities. You will be in my heart always...

I worked with Lynn while Schwab was on Professional Court in Lafayette. I left there in November, 2004. I was the 'Accounts Payable' person and worked closely with Lynn about the accounts. He was wonderful to work with and always had a cheerful disposition. I kept in touch with Tammy on line up until a few years ago. John Walling was a neighbor of ours here on Lake Freeman for a few years before he moved away. He will be missed.
