Dear Mitch and Betty,
I was sorry to here of the passing of your father. Abe, Ida,George, and Shirley represented so much to all of us who had the pleasure of working at Kline's Dept. Store. I was blessed that George and Shirley could see more in me than I could see in myself. They gave me an opportunity to move into management during a time when minority opportunities were very limited. My people skills were developed because of their mentoring and leadership. Without the support and encouragement of your father, my successful career with the Prudential Ins. Co. would not have been possible.
I will always have fond memories of your dad and all of the Kline family.

Sincerely,

Larry W.Clark, CLU
