Charles, I know the loss of your grandmother must be great. But, I know she is in Heaven trying to see who she can serve. Her picture looked like a lady with class and grace. I pray the Lord to hold your hand through the suffering; I know she would have said don't weep for me, weep for those remaining on earth. You might not remember me; we met during state FBLA in 1979; I made the horrible speech for reported. We met again with the American Legion speeches at Leesville High School. I knew your father as a school auditor. I was going to make a copy of the yearbook where he and the other auditor did a little dance. I forget what was going on that day. I saw him talking to some people and when they stopped talking; I walked over nodded him with my elbow and asked if he remembered me since we took many pictures together. He said your from Pitkin and basketball. After a long update on you & your sister he noticed a card in my hand. He said are you enrolled? I said no & it does not look as if I can start this term. He said hand me the card & said follow me; when he walked up to the cage the girl jumped up & he said enroll this lady. We exited & during this talk, I asked what are you to now-a-days? When Dr. Cooley called me to stay after class & was telling people if they could/could not take his class; my heart was racing. I asked him how the Russian Ministries were going & I loved his presentation at Mt. Carmel..he said I see we are waiting on your transcript. I did not qualify for either course I took with him. I was so proud of my grades with him. end of story..
