I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Key. Over the years he was very helpful in making sure I had everything I needed when ordering supplies for my Aiken High Cheerleaders. After I stopped coaching my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting him and started buying supplies for our home. Family you are in our thoughts and prayers! Mark & Ida Harbison
