Daddy's Song to his Beloved

Papa

My friend, Bec, has developed a website for our alma mater, Toccoa Falls College. There is an email to which you can subscribe that will send various facts, letters, and pictures on the college. Today, the picture that was featured in the email was one of my grandfather when he graduated in 1941. Papa's on the far left, and the couple in the middle is Dr. and Mrs. Forrest, the founders of the college. For those of you that have a vested interest in TFC, you'll find this website fascinating!
