I called Claude yesterday evening' (10/12). He is confined to his bed and is quite weak; however, he was talkative and thanked me over and over! Please take a few minutes with Claude to let him know he has lots of his Ashley Class of 60 classmates thinking of him!

From Tom Dodgen

One of our dear classmates, Claude Rogers ( or “Moose” as he is called now), has advanced stage cancer and is under Hospice care. He is bedridden, but very alert, and would love to hear from some of his old high school friends. He is easy to talk with, so don’t be hesitant to call as Claude will do most of the talking. His phone number is 828-524-7208.

Claude lives in Franklin, North Carolina and has spent his entire career in education.  Fortunately his property was not damaged in the recent storm.  He is asking for our prayers.
