My sympathy to all of Marion's family. We were all members of the Class of 1956 that graduated from David Anderson High School in Lisbon, Ohio. Because we were always seated alphabetically in school, my place was near Marion's seat. It was good to see him at the reunions when he was able to attend.
May God grant all of you his special peace at this difficult time.
