Why we are classmates forever

Some reaction to our obituaries from Lorlee
Reading the obituaries has been very poignant. I am always startled to realize that they are gone. And while I have not kept in touch with any of them, their deaths have touched me more deeply than I expected.
Peggy Watters invited me to my very first slumber party…. What a life force.
And with no intention to create a controversy, Margaret Linser was a townie who didn't adopt an attitude toward country kids. Based on my reaction to her death that meant more to me than I credited. I even dreamed about seeing her at the Reunion and joyfully saying "Oh, good, you aren't dead."
Gary Goodrich was in all of my classes and reading about his life was important to me.
So keep posting those obits. -- Lorlee Bartos
