I am so sorry to hear of Winifred´s passing. We were friends since first grade. I´ve thought of him often over the years and truly hate that we haven´t seen each other since graduation. He gave me a lace handkerchief for Christmas in first grade. I carried it for my something old when I got married in 1981 and I still have and cherish it today. He was a great friend when we were growing up.
