Congratulations Mr. Edsol Smith.& Frank Weaver

Bravo Zulu and kuddos to Coach Smith…..my baseball and basketball coach….Civiic Teacher and the man that took me into the hall after class in a semi-private way and taught me how to pronounce “Activity” in about 3 seconds. We also did JV football together, and have enjoyed having him attend some of our Class of 63 Reunions. I think of you often…..when I think that is…..I think I remember thinking….close to being 66 myself. Wow! Edsol! You are looking good for a man hitting a hundred by now!
Buddy, it’s our time to say…..Well Done and I am proud of you today and the yesterdays. Boyce
