Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. Hope all is well with you and your family. Long ago days at Bent Patk & ETHS!

Hey Gale!
Have had great thoughts your way lately. Hope you are busy, enjoying life with. Much purpose and time with friends. I miss my long time friends… my best wishes to you ????

 XOI grew up with Holly in North Evanston and had contacts with her and family through our church. I am so saddened. She was a wonderful person with a bouncy love of life personality. Have been grateful to see her at previous reunions and catch up on her adventures in Montana.. a place near and dear to my heart, as well. She will be missed and always fondly remembered by me and my days in Evanston/ ??RIP Holly

I too, remember Merle. He was such a fun loving all- around great guy! We rode the bus together in the morning and he was always sprinting to the bus stop on Grant Street. Remembering his laugh and love for life! Many kind and caring thoughts to his family. We both ended up being teachers and I am sure he made quite a difference and was a great influence on many of his students over the years. He always made me smile. I remember him at an 8th grade party and we were sitting on the floor/ all the guests an he missed a coconut toss and he suffered a sizeable goose- egg on his head! What a memory! RIP Merle- you will be missed!

How I remember you- especially in history class. I have a great visual memory and as I write this I can see us seated near each other and absorbing what we could cram in our brains at that moment. I too, do remember all my teaching days and how my life was so shaped by ETHS.

Wonderful comments about her and like all comments. Yes knew her for so long myself. Many times.. through my life! She was a fabulous and happy- go - lucky type person! So sorry we have yet lost another. Nice to know how much people care. Bruce Boyer- great comments about your knowing her so long. Thing she and I were at College Hill together and as we moved in Evanston we crossed paths again.

It probably needs to come in a preprinted envelope - alumi update. I am sure then response would be better. Yes, everyone is afraid of phishing scams etc.

Good to see your update. Hope you are enjoying life!!!.. travel etc.

For 2022: Wishing you a very Happy Birthday a week from now. Enjoy fun, friends,family& cake too!

Hope all things are well for you in FLA! I stop& think of how far we have come from those College Hill days. Enjoy !

Hi Carol, Think about the years when were so much younger.Hoping all is well with all. 5 grandchildren tend to keep you young . I have a 31 year old granddaughter& we await the arrival of my 3rd great- grand in June of this year. I keep busy.. sending a friend hug your way!
