Dettrey Family, Kindly forgive this late entry. The Camden High School Class of 1955 is truly sorry to just learn of the loss of our Classmate, Art. On behalf of his ‘Mates in the Class of ’55, please accept our sincere condolences and may our prayers help comfort the Dettrey Family. I personally remember Art always grinning, and the neat “Artful” dresser in tailor made slacks. Art, ever the quintessential salesman, he could and did, talk one into a new pair of shoes even if one didn’t quite need them. Of course, I am speaking of high school days and Art’s after school work at a local shoe store. It may be of interest to note also, Art was our Class of ’55’s “Best Dresser”! As in many instances after graduation, our paths never crossed again save for a reunion and maybe a call to him when searching for the rest of our ‘Mates. Semper Fi.
