Really Nice Guy
Posted on 5/30/17 - by Joe Brusco jbinternet@verizon.netNevin had a paper route for the weekly Southwest Philadelphia Globe Times and my house was on his route. I didn't know him well, but he was a nice kid, always polite and respectful when he stopped to collect. He was taken from his family Way too soon. R.I.P. Nevin.MORE -

Remembering An American Hero
Posted on 10/7/13 - by Curt CarterDear SP4 Nevin Oakley Farnsworth Jr, sirMORE
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter
