Sharon,
I have many many great memories of you and Dick when I was a child. I always enjoyed when I was able to see you out at the farm, and truly enjoyed having had the opportunity to come back to your house on a few occasions and spend some time. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Rhonda

I would like to express my sympathy at this time to the Family of Mr. Tuller. I was a young girl when he was principal of Woodrow Wilson Junior High. This was the best time of my life and I love that school as I know he did. He was a wonderful person and a great principal. My prayers go out to your family at this time.
