Anita, we did not have a chance to meet and get to know you but Joyce and I remember Marion with fondness. One summer, Joyce, Mary Kay Neer/Russell, and Marion drove over to OSU for summer school and had a great time keeping each other company on the trips over and back. I lived in Catawba and played football with Marion at Northeastern and while we didn't keep in touch (I was in the Navy for 31 years) I looked forward to our 50th HS reunion and catching up with him. You have our deepest sympathies in this time of loss. We miss him already.
