To Allison H. all the class in the world ... think she’ll have enough! I, John Paul Williams, being of sound mind and great body, will my studliness to Mike Atkinson, because I want to. I will my nerves to Shawn Davis because he has a tendency to get on them. I also will my fun times in band to Mike Atkinson, because only he knows the times in band.
