I was sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Racy. Her husband Don was my favorite math teacher when I attended Central Junior High in Lawrence, KS. Later on, Don Racy and Buster Carney did a lot of painting for my dad, Bill Pendleton, and were fellow Lawrence Breakfast Optimists. My deepest condolences to the Racy family for this loss.

Delmar and I enjoyed very much having Don and Ann as neighbors. We certainly missed them when they sold their house and moved. My sincere condolences
