And to make this evening even more special, you are able To look around the room to see how May people you have helped along the Way. You showed us the value of Leadership, and social interaction which Were important skills for us during the old but unforgotten “Jim Crow Era” As we reflect on our past experiences with you, we will remember your Words of encouragement and wisdom. The Lessons you taught both inside and outside the classroom will remain with us forever. You taught us as young adults to come together in great causes. You taught us to overcome stereotypes, Selfish thoughts and behaviors. You are one of the r reasons why so many of us moved towards development and progression of family, communities and our ourselves. We will never forget the Contributions and the many Sacrifices you made on our behalf. March 24, 2007 West End High School Alumni Assoc. Clarksville, VA, VFW Post Author, Unknown
