Happy Birthday in advance, Janet. Seems too early to approach Dec. We're aging fast enough, right? I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family as we move toward the Holiday Season! Fondly, Mary

Sweet Karen was in band with me and played clarinet. She was kind and thoughtful to all. Karen had a friendly, welcoming smile to anyone she encountered. I can imagine she was a wonderful mom and volunteer in her community. The world needs more people with her spirit. May God bless her family at this very sad time.

I'm sorry to read of Kent's passing. We were friends all through school. Kent always seemed to be a serious kind of guy! I thought his friendship and banter with Ross Legrand and our band activities was a great source of laughter and fun for him.
