I lost track of Sandra after high school. She and I were in School 14 together. I do remember a smart, talented pianist involved in many high school activities who was a nice person.

I remember Sandra as one of my favorite people at Troy High.
I have often thought of her and wondered where she was and how she was doing.

I last saw Sandra while working at the Watervliet Arsenal. I believe it was in the early 90's. I would occasionally give Sandy a ride home when she would call and ask for a ride. She told me she was going to move back to Houston Tx. and that was the last time I saw her.
