Paula, you have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your husband, David. He and I were classmates at Roxbury Central High school. We were in the Class of 1964. He was king of our junior prom and I was queen. I keep all my former high school classmates dear in my heart. I know he will be greatly missed by his family, friends; old and new.
