I had the opportunity to visit with John (Johny Ross) a couple of years before he died. 

 He had brought his grandmother Ina Morgan over to Mt. Pleasant for a funeral. He told me he missed all of his classmates here in Mt. Pleasant and he asked about many of them.

His father insisted they were going to move to
Blanding against the wishes of the family.

He had spent most of his working career as a truck driver but had to give it up because of
his failing eyesight. Kathy
