18 Sep 2007 It was a real pleasure to know you. I often think back to all the fun we had at Webster School yard. Also, the time the scouts camped out at Harrogate Park. You were so young to have to leave us. You were a very special person and loved by everyone who knew you, Cubby. May you rest in Peace. From a friend, Nancy Mazzeo Reeb nreeb@comcast.net
