My sincerest sympathies to the entire Blauvelt family. Wallace raised a wonderful family and I am especially thinking of them at this time.

My mother, Elsie, and Betty were very good friends. I graduated with Kathy and I feel I've known her all my life. I remember Lori was always full of fun and was a member of a certain "fan club". Richard was ahead of us in school but always took the time to say "hello".

Betty, Richard, Kathy, Lori, and all...I share your grief and I share in remembering Wallace's many accomplishments.
