Sandy..You and Harry, and both your families, have been a long happy part of life in Colorado Springs, from Waymire's clothing, to the Blunt family community leadership, to the pleasure of having you and Harry as classmates. We all find an example in both your and Harry's friendly service to the community. We will contribute to the Blunt Park memorial fund in Harry's memory.
