Re: Sad news….Willard McDonald
Yes, Joyce. I just found out that he was in same class with Rhett, Jim McCormick, and Clyde Morgan. That means he was a senior when I was in 7th grade and one of the three newbies in BIG band that year, Mr P’s first year in Forest. After having practically NO band classes while in 6th grade, we were totally unprepared for that first experience. Willard was so kind to us, maybe because his little sister, Linda, was the same age. Can’t say that for alll of the older members…. Linda just told me that he lived in Butler, Ala where he had a pharmacy for decades. While his son took over as the main pharmacist, Willard continued to go in every day to help manage ‘the back of the house’.
