Elvin and I have been friends since high school days at ODSS. I have known you, Betty, and other members of the Balson family for almost as long a time period. Many years later I had the pleasure of teaching all 3 of your children. Obviously our friendship has extended over many moons. Please accept the sincere condolences of Mildred and myself on Elvin’s sudden passing. He will be sorely missed by family, friends, and community.
