Life

I have two older brothers, Vernon L. Whittier and Robert Paul Conner Whittier. V.L. graduated from VBHS in 1947, graduated from Florida State University with a BS in Personnel Management, went to work for the state, received a law degree from FSU and retired after working for the Department of Transportation.
