Sept. 20, 08 Another childhood friend has departed. C.D. Williams lived on Poplar Avenue. opposite the firehouse. I remember him from Ivy Memorial days, Boy Scouts, and his strong work ethic that he inherited from his parents. He set a powerful example for the younger crowd - one that we probably did not follow faithfully enough. Interesting that his photo so much matches my memory. C.D. had small eyes, high eyebrows, prominent forehead, and head usually tilted slightly back. C.D. was a NNHS graduate, class of Feb. 1943. Fred Thank you, Fred.
