Mr. Vlassis:
I didn’t know your wife, but my mother worked with you at Penn Manor High School, and I remember you from my years of attending from 1964 to 1968. If my parents were still living, I know they would have sent you a condolence card or note. I also remember seeing you over the years on the sales floor at Watt & Shand at Park City – a remembrance from what seem to have been somewhat more refined days from our past.
Anyway, sorry to hear of you loss. Condolences to you and your family, from my family.
