Earl & I met when we were in the 6th grade at West Gant Elementary School. Both of us, along with my wife Gail, graduated from Carolina High School in 1959. After we moved to Cumming, GA, we didn’t stay in touch as much as we should have. But I always considered Earl as a close friend. We will be thinking of his family during this difficult time.
