Dear Clint,
Your sweet mother taught me my “a,b,c’s’ in the late 50’s. She was a friend of my parents, Malone and Charlotte Young in Johnson City. I remember sitting at her kitchen table near the college campus and her kind smile. She had such a beautiful way with children, and undoubtedly left many other precious memories! I am SO sorry for the loss of your mother.
