Also, president of the NRA and NFL.

My son (6) and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Mr.Foss and would like to send the family of Joe (his widow if she is still with us) a couple of water color pictures we made last night in memory of Joe.
If anyone has a clue as to where we can send these so they make it to Joes family, please contact me Thank you.
