Cheryl Godwin (Class Of 1971) (Grymes)
Thank you Maggie, Ed and the rest of the planning committee for including me in your reunion. Although I wasn't officially a member of your class, I felt like I was. I was known as Russell's little sister and he certainly had a presence about him. He cherished his friendships and would have loved the reunion. I appreciate everyone who came up to tell me Russell stories and that you remembered and missed him. I told this story to some who were there but wanted to pass it along to everyone. A few weeks ago, I had a guy contact me who knew Russell at UF. He said he had some video footage of him back in the 1970's. We talked and he sent me a video that he had taken with his 8mm movie camera. It is very typical Russell enjoy life boating and water skiiing. He truly loved life - he just couldn't learn to love himself. I have attached a link that should take you to the video. You will need to cut and past it into your browser. Hopefully, it will work. If it doesn't let me know by email cgrymes@bbbsnefl.org or go to my Facebook - Cheryl Godwin Grymes - and send a friend request.
