To the Editor:

I want to thank the individuals and organizations that were instrumental in the naming of the Washington High School gymnasium in my honor. I also want to thank all those who gave donations.

I appreciate your generosity from the bottom of my heart.

Special thanks to the committee members: Florence Lodge, Tony Boston, Roy Simpson and Thornton Gorham Jr.

It was so nice to be remembered by you! Your thoughtfulness means so much to me.

COACH DAVE SMITH
