Herb and I have known each other since I started school at Grubb Springs in 1940 . Herb was in the 7th. Or 8th. Grade when I started my first. I think he Carolyn Terry and I are the last pupils that lived here at least that attended school at time . We remained good friends with he and his family always . Herbs family lived across the road from school at that time. I extend condolences to all of his family.
