From Gary Franson: I remember Donna Jensen from 6th grade at Taft School with Earl M. Grubb as our teacher and from Hoover Junior High and my one year at M-A.  I clearly remember is what a great athlete she was.  She was a better athlete than most boys of her age including me.  She was strong, quick and very skilled at running, catching and throwing balls.
