Dear Mrs. Poole,
It is with sorrow that I mark the passing of your husband. His contributions of time, materials, and knowledge to our outdoor learning program at Haycock were significant, and instrumental to the success of our fledgling program. May party of his legacy always be the beauty of our schoolyard that he helped create. I think of him whenever I see those wonderful trees.
Sincerely,
Julie Bryan
