Good to profile our fine citizens

Reading articles such as Tuesday’s front page, “Everett ‘62 grad remembered as class act,” about Mr. Henry Mathews, makes me sad that I didn’t know this fine person and never will. It gladdens my heart to read about people in my community who brought such presence and meant so much to the people who did have the good fortune to know them.

My condolences to his family and friends.
