**Note from Frances Fritts Elias Aug. 1983
“ Earl, as you know, you were one of my teachers at Bon School. Four of us kids made our grades and went to Williamsburg High School. Those school days I will never forget; they were all memorable, happy days. But no difference how far away one gets, you always want to come back home. I’m happy you and the folks that made Bon Jellico are keeping the memory alive.”
