I am so sorry about losing Lucian. He was a wonderful man from a wonderful family. His father was Helena Chief of Police many years ago and his mother had a florist down town Helena for a short time. His sister Daphne died at a young age and his older sister Anne was one of my best friends till she died a few years ago. Lucian will certainly be missed.

Mr. Webster was the principal in Elaine when I taught and coached there in the late 70’s and 80’s. With his guidance I became a better teacher and coach. My condolences go out to the Elaine community and his family.
