Reflections for Investigator B. Cowart
Mrs. McDurmond, I remember your dad from way back in the early 1950s when my family lived on White Dr. and a few years later when he unforgettably entertained my Cub Scout Den with rides in his patrol car. There are a few other memories too, and all reinforce him as being incredibly kind! I recalled these stories to my grandsons in recent months as they were relating their own Scouting adventures to me. Afterward, my wife looked him up on this website where I saw your name and comments.
Best Regards, John G Taylor
