Charles Etta and Girls, I am one of the ladies that carpooled with Mr. Coleman and Mr. Perkins to Springfield High School. Mr. Coleman was a delight to ride with. Your husband worked at Devale Middle. He was very smart, and cold talk on any subject! I am sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.
