Sorry to learn just this week of the death of your father. It was during my school years at West Crisp High School in Cordele that I knew him as my principal. I remember him as a friendly and caring person. My prayers are with you because I know myself how it is to not have parents to lean on when needed. John Massey, Class of 1956
