I am sorry to report that EARL RICHMOND'S Son has pased away. He had been sick and in the Hospital. My Heart goes out to EARL and his FAMILY at this time. I have already E-Mailed some of you about this. I have EARLS address if you would like to send him a card. Just E-Mail me and I will send it to you. Earl has been under the weather himself, as his hand and arm have not healed very well after the Surgery. I WISH HIM and his FAMILY the very BEST. GOD BLESS. I know he would love to hear from some of you.

Dear Earl,
Although we never met in person, I hope the following poem will ease the pain of your son's death.
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and, therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tools for thee.
John Donne
