Edna and Galen, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My wonderful memories of Garrett School always include both of you. I was fortunate to know him as a principal when I was a student and later when I was a teacher. He is one of the many who helped me to be the person I am today. I will never forget that. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Shirl
