promoter of the Tennessee Walking

sudden heart attack.
We were getting ready to leave for
the Murray Farm Sale, when he had
the attack. We have been regular
visitors in Shelbyville for the Celebra­

reservations for this year. He was only
49 years old.
If you have space in Lhe Voice to
let our Friends know of his death, 1
will be so grateful. Sincerely, Yours
Truly
