Last time I saw Mr. and Mrs. Boutwell they were driving to Tara's home in ATL. I was also on my way either to or from my home in ATL and we just happened to be at the same gas station at the same time and I spoke with him and Mrs. Dot as we pumped gas. This was most likely in the late 80's or early 90's. Mr. Boutwell was Principle of Chavala High School, Mrs. Boutwell was Secretary and Tara was a fellow student. I guess that was like 1972-74. So sorry to see this news today. RIP Mr. Boutwell. Praying for comfort for the family.
