Dear Larry:

Let me take this opportunity to send you my personal congratulations upon your forthcoming graduation from High School. It is of great significance not only to you and your family, but to your community, State, and Nation.

Recently, I read of a small town that traced down the present location of all its High School graduates. Their investigation made them proud to find their small school had graduates in every state in the United States and in many foreign countries. It is safe to assume that they were actively engaged in almost every field of work or profession. I am sure all of our Greenville County High Schools would find this to be true.

So you can see the potential influence you and your classmates can have in our world today.

BACK

Wake me up at 7:35

Let me welcome you into this new phase of your life with my sincere wishes for your success and happiness.

Yours very truly,
Rex L. Carter
