About Trontmans
Dear Hr. Wvers: ;/*' |
Thank yon for saying what M
many of us at Grace Lutheran
Churab and in Watauga County
have known and felt about
Paster aid Mrs. Trotttman for
so long. All of us perhaps in
tended to say it, but we are so
grateful ta you far writing it
down ? and so wonderfully!
I think Edgar A. Guest must
have known friends like these
when be said: "I'd rather one
shoutd walk with me than mere
ly show the way." The Trout
nans have surely walked with
many of us along such varied
routes, as well as shown the
way, and all of us are grateful
to you for helping us pay to
them the tribute that you did.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Ray L. Greene
