Keith was my classmate all the way the through school, and one of Daddy's students at Forbush (Mr. Cash). I visited with Keith at our last class reunion and was looking forward to seeing him this year. He did have agreat sense of humor. He told me that he remembered Daddy every day and recited some of the wise sayings Daddy passed along in class. That meant the world to me. I will miss him greatly.
