Harold SalmOns passed on
this week and 1 lost a friend.
Memory takes me back to old
school days when he was in the
seventh and l in the eighth
grades in the old South Mil
ford School He was always
pleasant, full of fun, bat eager
to be on with tne business of
life. Our paths diverged after
graduation for each of us, but
whenever we met there was an
exchange of pleasantries of the
day and interested concern for
our growing children and
grandchildren. His death
quickened our sympathy for his
loved ones and brought back
many nice memories of our
friendships. It is sad to lose
a friend.-V. S. T.
