Dear Linda,

If you are the Linda nee Drummond of Urbana High School Class of 1968, I wish to express my condolences.

I moved to Tulsa last July to be with my father George Richard "Dick" Carlisle, in his last days, as he was dying from Parkinson's Disease. He passed away September 7, 2007.

(We have sponsored his Guest Book ubtil October 13, 2008. Feel free to read it).

I miss the people of Urbana a lot and plan to move back this spring. I plan to attend the Class of 1968 40th Reunion in July.

I keep you and your sister and families in my prayers during this time of sorrow.
