Hey Andy, long time no see. So sorry to hear this, Murphree was a mentor to me in the 70s after I had seen the movie Love Story. I decided I had to have one of those 50s era MGs. Murphree was the expert in Florence on these vehicles and invited me to your house in Forest Hills to show me what to look for in buying one. I found one in Los Angeles. A friend flew there and in the same time Murphree wanted me to shop for a 50s era Tbird. Found a 55 TBird for $1500. Also bought a trailer and towed the MG behind the Tbird to Florence.You can not imagine the looks we got going down the road. Many many adventures between the way. Murphree did not meet strangers. Saw him last at Stags and had a cheeseburger. Great Guy. RIP Murphree. You will be missed.

I'll never forget the year that we were all at the table eating, I don't remember how long before Christmas. Maybe it was Christmas eve? . Someone rang the bell at the back door, and when we opened the door there was Santa Claus himself! Andy told us later that Ginger's and my faces were even more delighted that the kids faces were.

Dear Andy,

I have such fond memories of the years spent with you at what was then Florence State. As I recall, I introduced you and Murphree and then later participated in your wedding. Those were such great years and now it is so very sad to hear of Murphree's passing. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I would love to hear from you and do some catching up. Please give me a call, write me a letter, or send me an email. My email is [email protected] and my phone number is 863-686-5269. That's a land line so if you don't get an answer, please leave a message with a number where I can reach you. If you don't hear back from me, do it the old-fashioned way and send me a letter.

Again, prayers and concern,
