[AGL] two Ralph Whites but only one Fletcher

[Frances Morey]

My last sighting of Fletcher was a few months ago at Breed  hardware. He looked great and I told him as much but he said that he didn't look as good on the inside, whatever that meant. He apparently has some health concern to worry about.
  Still in Atlanta, maybe a week more...
  Best,
  Frances

  Thanks for the update, Mike.. I love any story that has sweet Libby in it.
I haven't seen Fletcher in some time-any sightings of him?
