Ella Mae,
Although we haven't met, I feel that I know you through the posts on Tom Powell's Mifflinite email site and also from your encouraging emails after I broke my hip in 2009. So I want to extend my sympathy to you and your family. I'm sorry to hear that your brother has passed away.

Ellea Mae,
So sad to hear of Wiley's passing.
I am so happy that I attended the
Mifflin '62 50th reunion. Wiley and
I were at the same table, affording us the opportunity to visit, albeit too briefly.
On a humorous note. Wiley and I shared the fact that we were the trend setters of the day, both sporting
'Elvis' style hairdos.
Wiley will be long remembered for the good man that he was, as well as the
Bard family.

I am so glad that I attended the 50th class reunion of Mifflin '62. Wiley
and I sat at the same table, affording us the luxury of visiting, albeit, too

On a humorous note - Wiley and I had the same 'Elvis' style hair style back
then.
