In memory of Thomas Ray Barr ~ I went to Grade School thru High School with Thomas Ray and graduated together in 1958. Thomas was a caring and thoughtful classmate. He wasn't as outgoing as some of us were but bravier than all of us. I remember him being a cheer leader his Sr. year and I'll always remember the speech he made on the bus right before we got back to Timpson from our Sr. trip. It was a speech he gave from the heart and I'll always remember it. It was such a warm message that I hope all of us remember. I never saw him again once we graduated but I often thought of him and that speech he made. May he rest in peace. Vanard McDaniel
