Sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Toner. I first met him when I served as Texas State FFA President, 1955-56, from Millsap, Tx. I remember him as a very intelligent man. He was very dedicated & committed to Vocational Ag Education. He was one of few from that era. He will be missed from the ranks. (Royce Bodiford, 311 W. 4th St. Apt. 806, Odessa, Tx 79761).
