Condolences

    Patrick and Ginger Sullivan writes,
    We were sorry to learn of Mr. Sawyer’s death. One memory that I (Patrick) have of him is that he was one of the few people I knew with the skill to repair those King George cane-seat chairs that some of us from the King George, Virginia extended-family diaspora still have (Dick Gros might have been the only other one). Condolences and love to the Sawyer family.
