Yet again, more sad news with the announcement of the passing of our honored Homecoming Queen, Mary Moran. Mary is now free of the health issues she has faced for many years.

I received the following request from Jim Bennett. "Just wondering about Mary Moran--hoping to find more information than her Pantagraph obit provides. Maybe I could get word out somehow on the website asking fellow classmates who knew Mary really well to send me their thoughts and memories; maybe it's possible I could write one of my weekly columns on her. Peace. Jim Bennett email: jwbnnt@aol.com phone: (309) 808-0025"

The obituary and pictures have been posted.

For the traveling members of our class, Lucinda Butler Dohan has sent a picture of her and husband Allen in front of Blarney Castle. We have also posted a picture of Barbara Washburn again visiting California. A picture has also been received from Barbara Popejoy of the "Three Daves" (Dave Dollins, Dave Jones, Dave Popejoy) enjoying each other's company during a visit to San Diego (Susan Bicket Jones was also present but didn't make the cut I guess). And finally, Rita Henterseher and her husband Mike stopped for Brunch with Susan and Dave Jones on their way to a trip to Paso Robles. Click
