(Note: I was wondering if Jake’s Mom was a teacher? If so, she taught me in sixth grade 1959/1960 at what was then Bethel Elementary, now Forrest Elementary in Hampton, VA.)
You are correct. Jake’s mother was a teacher.
I am so very sad to hear about Preston’s passing. I have known him my entire life. My family lived next door to him in Hampton. His sisters used to baby sit me when I was young. Preston and I dated for many years and still kept in touch. You will be missed my friend.

So sorry to hear this. I dated his son for eight years and had the pleasure of coming from seattle to meet him. He was such a wonderful host and showed us so many interesting sights. Very welcoming and I have great memories of the trip. My sincere condolences to his son Jake and the entire family during this hard and painful time.
