On a personal note, Art and Shirley were among my best friends
during and after our high school years. As a photographer I made
many pictures of Shirley and also photographed Their wedding. I was
with Art when he received a call from his mother telling him his
father had just died of a heart attack I went to his home to share
the grieving with his family. So many memories of class activities
and times spent with both Shirley and Art. My best to you Shirley. |
