Yesterday

I have nothing but fond memories of James 'Peabody' Cork. I was a year behind him in Hamlin schools. When DePriest school joined us at Hamlin High in the fall of 1965, we acquired a new bunch of lifetime friends. I saw Peabody at homecoming in 2023 I believe. I introduced him to my wife and he promptly told her that 'we' is family not friends! We are very fortunate to have known and have James Cork in our lives.
