    Jesse and Ann were special friends we shared time together in Johnson City. My late husband, Dr. Lyman Fulton, and I missed them after they moved to Charlotte. Please know the family of this remarkable gentleman is in my thoughts and prayers, and I have sent word to Peggy Wallace, another friend who often thinks of Jesse and Ann.
