I was sad to read of sweet Susan's passing. Susan was a lady,even when we were teenagers. We were good friends from 7th grade on. Susan was gentle and always polite...just like her Mom. Susan was careful and quite precise. She had a great giggle.When Susan went to Hamline and I went to St Olaf...we lost track until the last few years. What a nice gift to chat with my friend after so long. These HS contacts are wonderful to renew. A wonderful phone call on a quiet afternoon is a marvelous way to catchup and chat.

Marv was a good friend at Lenox Elementary. He was always a leader in our class. We were a strong, achieving group of kids who took school seriously. I was happy to be included in several celebrations at the synagogue. We were quite a merry group ..Marv,Barry,Berneen,Phyllis & Arlene. These friendships were valuable to me...always.It is no surprise that Marv had a full and accomplished life in his profession and in his family life. Good going!!!Mary

dear,Gloria. As a fellow band member...I always will think of Gloria with her cute,happy smile for all. She was kind to everyone.I think Gloria will be missed by so many.

Happy Birthday to you Barb. 85 is just fine
Take it from this old girl! Keep smiling pretty gal! mary

dear, Judy. Her wonderful smile was there for everyone. We had a wonderful lunch and conversation on one of my visits to Mpls. Our enthusiasm as sales people was so similar...whether jewelry(in Judy's case) or Mil$ homes in my case....we bonded! She was wonderfully fun!!!

A Happy Birthday to you. I rarely think of my age..and am 1 yr older than you. I often compare myself to my Mom. Terrific example for me. She lived well for 99years. A good challenge everyday! Have a nice day! Fondly,Mary

An early Birthday greeting to you, Janet. It was just great to see you at RH Roof Top last May. Everyone seemed to be doing well. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Happy Birthday to you. I can still see you in band playing your saxophone. Right? Always a girl with a great smile!

Lowell was a good friend from Band. He played trumpet and a buddy of fellow trumpeter, Bob Ericksen. Lowell's Mom was a favorite substitute teacher. I knew Lowell at St Olaf College and later I met his beautiful daughter at St Mark Lutheran in Salem. May you RIP,Lowell.
