Steve,
This is a request from our family for you to proceed with the project to refurbish the bench we agreed upon
near the finish line of Cross Country races.
We accept your proposal and the estimate, realizing the price may differ somewhat upon completion.
We do want you to go ahead with the plan and to install the bronze plaque in cement where it can be read
by people who sit on the bench.
We would like for the plaque to read:
In Memory of
Coach Don Womble
1926-2010
Did you get a PR today?
If this is too many lines, please exclude the 1926-2010,
Thank you for meeting with us and helping us plan this project.
Sincerely,
Lou Womble
