Jennifer was a classmate beginning early elementary years at IC. We had some very good times, especially in summer at the Olympic pool, and the neighborhood. I hope she had a Blessed life!Daniel Burk
Jennifer lived West of High St. on Cooke Rd and that was the same way I walked home from school to our family's home on Croswell. Her home was almost across the street from the Rupps, whose daughter Kathy was also in our Class. All three of our families moved North from Immacualte Conception Parish area in the heart of Clintonville to the Beechwold area around the time we graduated from 8th Grade.
Jennifer was a very sweet person and very smart. She always had something to talk about that was interesting or surprising as we walked home together after school. I'm pretty sure she was the oldest of the McNulty children. One of the things I remember though is that as soon as we got to her house her Dad, Frank, would look out and see her talking to a boy and start raising his voice at the front screen door about wanting her and her sisters to get inside and get busy cleaning their house or helping with dinner. She'd just say, "Well I guess I gotta go." There's more I'd like to say about him tht is unflattering but this is about Jennifer.
One of the things we liked to talk about was music, as then I was into Peter, Paul and Mary and Dylan, etc. and one day when we got to her house, as I recall it was late '62 or 'early 63, she said "You got to see this article my Grandmother sent from England." She ran into the house and pretty quick she came out with this big newspaper and the article on the front with a huge black and white photo was about these four musicians sporting long hair that the author called "pudding bowl hairtcuts". That was the very first time I ever heard of the Beatles and just a few months later they hit the US too with songs like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand' , "P.S. I Love you' and "Listen, Do you Wanna Know A Secret" and all the rest is all part of our classmates' and our generation's history.
I'm so sorry to hear she's gone but will always remember her intelligence and sweet nature.
