"The first thing that comes to my mind as far as Lamar ..are... the words 'CLASS ACT" I work in the activity department of Arbor and would have contact with Lamar almost daily while delivering her newspaper.. What a pleasure it was stepping into her room. She always had a smile for me that brightened my day. Blessings to you and yours Joan Behrens"
