A friend of mine, Ola, dated J.M. Gray in Atlanta in the late 40s when
she was a teenager. He left a couple of his certificates and a photo
with her. I'd like to get them back to him or his family. She kept
them all these years. If anyone can finish her name or give me some
info so I'll know you are the correct family I'll be happy to send these
to you if you want them. She cared enough all these many years to keep
them and I want to be sure they go to the right people. I have these
two certificates on my desk, but will have to search for the photo.

The first one is:
