I was the dumb kid at Olney, got asked to leave in last semester of senior year. Joined army for a place to live. After Vietnam received BS from Wharton School U of P. Masters from Penn in International Relations in International Business and International Law. I guess my mind clicked on. When I left Olney I could not read with any comprehension or speed.

We have lost another wonderful classmate. Brenda called me twice in the last 6 months, the last time about 10 days ago. She sounded weak but upbeat, never complained but I regret not spending more time on the phone with her. She will be sadly missed. 

So sorry to hear that we lost Debbie. A very sweet girl. At our joint 70th birthday party she mentioned coming to visit me in Margate, but we never made plans. She always made my heart beat a little faster.

Hi ya Barry. That’s a very gracious offer. I hope everyone survives to take you up on it. I’ve sold my Phila home and moved south to Palm Beach But wish you a healthy year.

Happy Birthday Ruth

I remember Linda very well. We met in kindergarten and went all the way through high school together. A sweet gentle kind soul that walked to the beat of a different drummer. I always hoped that she would have a long happy life. We lost touch after Olney and I don't know if she ever married or had children. She was my first kiss. I think of her fondly.
