Laura and Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We are out of town and hate that we can’t be there for you. Know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Virgil. We met in 1973 when Gov. Carter restructured state government and developed the Department of Administrative Services. I loved to talk to him as he was so knowledgeable. My sympathies to his family.
