February 8, 1963 Bert Keyes (Petersburg, Florida) to Ed (Clements -TNC)
Dear Ed:
Enclosed please find my personal check for $10.00 as a modest contribution toward the memory of “Appy” now gone to his reward. It is said that he did not take care of himself after his accident. My sister Florence and myself will miss his companionship greatly as we saw him almost daily and ate at our table frequently.
The Schenectady “Union Star” article written by Dr. Newkirk and Philip Ham was a fine tribute in my opinion.
Don’t think I’ll see Lake George before next June as at age 86, I hanker after Florida’s sunshine and usual warmth.
Come and see us at the lake anytime you are in our neighborhood.
Sincerely yours,
Bert Keys
