Veterans' Day 2000

Garry and his friends attended Valley Springs School (the Sheppards lived across from VSHS) through the 10th grade. We graduated from T. C. Robertson H. S. in 1964. Garry was a very fine person that we all appreciated. He had a nice laugh and smile that seemed to be there always and seemed to say, "I enjoy your company!"

I was in Vietnam the same time as Garry and did not know until my Mother sent me a newspaper clipping. I would like his family to know he is not forgotten and we all still appreciate him today!
