Thank you, Bruce, for supplying the information!
I was so sorry to hear of Gail's death. I remember her with fondness, especially her characteristic voice - would have recognized it anywhere!
I think it was during the first reunion I attended that I stayed wih her and her family in Phoenix. She was a lovely person and a good friend during my AFS year at PV. I am going to miss her! My deepest sympathy to all her family, Angie

Gail was lovely woman with a lovely smile. At every one of our reunions, I would be sure I’d say hi to her and to see what she was up to. Sincere condolences to her family. She will be missed.
