Bo was my first so called boyfriend before high school. It just doesn't seem like he should be gone. I know he is missed very much.Marta E. Black (Curry)
Well, the Dydell family are a legacy at LHS: and he will always be remembered. Gary and Raymond were in classes with me, and I knew them better, but who could NOT miss the special person he was? My prayers and condolences to your large family - you will never be forgotten.
