Friends -
I received word yesterday that Ivar Mawyer had passed away. Ivar was a
graduate of Albemarle HS --- he and my brother, Ralph, were friends and
in the same graduating class of 1955. They were friends at Red Hill.
Even before I enrolled in Albemarle HS, I attended some athletic events
at AHS and remember watching Ivar play baseball.
I remember Ivar at Red Hill HS, before consolidation. He was in the
construction business in Charlottesville.
Those of you who didn't know Ivar, may remember his sister, Judy. I see
her around occasionally. She was 2-3 years behind me.
Ralph and Ivar communicated, and they always met for lunch/dinner when
Ralph came to Charlottesville. Ralph lives in Tennessee.
Ivar was a good guy. The last time I saw him was at a dinner the 1955
class had for Mr. Hurt a few years ago.. Ralph invited me.
