I would like to express my sympathy to the Anderson family on the death of Terry. Being a small community we all seem to know each other through family, acquaintances, school, church; the list could go on. Through the years that I worked at the Gladstone Public Library, Terry was a frequent visitor. He was a quiet, but noticed presence whether checking out books or working on the computer. I am sure he will be missed by many in our community, including the library.
