In June, 2011, my close friend Linda Baumler Koziol ('67) gave a heartfelt & very moving presentation, dedicating our ACHS Boomer Reunion to her dearest & best friend, our beloved former classmate Sharon Hess Howard ('67), as well as to all of our other former Amherst classmates who are no longer with us. With Linda, we likewise fondly remember Sharon's tremendously positive attitude about life, her incredible passion for the theater & performing arts, her warm smile & infectious laughter, & her terrific sense of humor. May she rest in peace. Here's the link to the video of Linda's wonderful tribute to Sharon at the Boomer Reunion:
