Dear Sue & Jeff,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom's passing, Sue. Please express my sympathy to your family. We have not seen each other since we had toddlers - quite a lot of years ago, but Phyllis McKown Patnaude, who I keep in touch with, passed the obituary on to me. I have lived in Phoenix for the past 14 years and am still married (27 years now) to Chris. I'd love to hear from you guys. Sincerely,
Vicki Adams Shearer CSHS '74
