A lot of good memories on School Road. We all knew it was time for dinner when we heard Mr. Terry's whistle. Oh ya, if you needed a screw or nut or bolt, you could always look through his metal box. If he didn't have it, you didn't need it. He was part of a very good part of my life. Thanks, Mr Terry. God Bless to all!
