I am so sad to hear about the passing of Mr. Akers. I've only known him for a short period of time and in that little time have become very close to him. I am going to miss him callin into the office and hearing his voice asking ..."how are you today and how is that son of yours". I will always cherish the talks we would have and miss him very much. My prayers goes out to his family.

I am saddened to hear of Harold's passing. I hadn't seen much of him since our school days at Carroll. Since I was a sr when he was a frosh our contacts came mostly after h.s. You have my profound sympathy.
