Mary, All I ever called you was Mary. I did not know that CLYDE was your brother. I want you to know Clyde and I graduated together in the class of 1949. Clyde was a friend of mine and a real good guy. He always attended most sporting events at Bellaire. Several years ago he stopped going to ball games. In the past year I tried to get in touch with him by phone but had no luck. He had many friends in our class and will be sadly missed. I e mailed many of our mutual friends of his passing. May my friend rest in Peace. May GOD BLESS His Family and give them strength for there loss. WILBUR MORRISON

I was saddened hearing of Clyde’s passing. Met Clyde through the Imperial Glass Collector’s and learned so much from his willingness to share his glass expertise. My prayers are with his family – we will miss him greatly.
