Chas and family,
Sorry for a much belated RIP. We were buddies in and after high school at LHS, Jax. You were the primary reason I entered and finished college in Jax after our summer visit to Ga. Southern. My best friend dated your sis in the ole days. Cheryl Fuller. I did not know Billy that well but spent some time at your parents house in Riverside. Have a much deserved rest after a life well-lived. I wished we had connected later in life, to swap stories, as my profession took me to lots of foreign assignments as well.
Ken Voelker, LHS, `62, classmate
