Mrs. Sherin and family,
My prayers are with you during this time. I know you have no idea who I am, so let me explain. I am originally from Marathon N.Y. and had Mr. Sherin for a basketball coach. My roommate in college, Joe Sutherland was from Monroe-Woodbury High and also knew Justin. He sent me Mr. Sherin's Obituary. Justin taught me the real meaning of discipline on the basketball courts which I have taken with me through life. He brought to Marathon a new concept on how basketball should be played. I also remember being beat by one of your boys in a game of pig, often. He was a grade schooler at the time, but was a sharp shooter. Take care. Ken O'Neil

Dear Barbara and family,
As you can see from my signature, I am a Lynn from Highland Mills -- perhaps you remember my brother, Emory, or my sister, Florence.
I remember first meeting Justin when I worked as Jack Barrett's secretary 1953-1955. He was someone who all the kids seemed to like -- a dedicated "coach".
My sincere sympathy to you.

My family and i send our condolence to Couch Sherin's Family. He was one of my first Phys- Ed People to teach us children from Harriman. We had never had Phys- Ed until Centralization came.
