In loving remembrance of my grandfather Chas W Starkey
In loving remembrance of my grandfather Chas. W. Starkey who departed this life Feb. 17, 1930. A precious one from us is gone. A voice we loved is still. A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled the boon His love had given. The soul is safe in Heaven. By His Grandson Tyson Cohee.

Old Tom's Illusion and a Murderous Cut of Costume
In a mid century city office tale, two aging clerks, Old Tom and Jem Malbank, clash over ambition and reality. Tom, gentle and reliable, hides a dream of acting, while Jem scoffs at such fantasies and pressures him toward rational, dull work. After a stormy evening over supper, Tom quietly destroys his Macbeth theater costume, hinting at a perilous unraveling as the next day reveals Tom's changed demeanor.
