Death of Fred A. Post

Fred did not graduate but did attend until the 10th grade. He quit to join the US Navy and would have graduated with 1956 or 57.
On April 27th of this year, 2011, two tornados struck our little town of Harvest, Alabama. Destroyed our house and our neighborhood and killed Fred on impact.
Even though he left Wellsville all those years ago he has always kept up with things that went on in the town. He still has lots of relatives in the area. He was very fond of the school and the area. We miss him. Peggy, Terry and Scott Post
