  11. “By their fruits shall ye know them.” And our friend Sam Ledbetter had a mighty big orchard for fruitful service to his fellow men and women. What a legacy! Much of the good he left with us will impact others yet unborn. May his kind increase, and may God’s Grace–always promised to be sufficient–for you, and others who loved Sam, in the living of these days.
