How sad. The Martindales lived across the street from us on Desco. Her father Bruce was a Braniff pilot back when being an airline pilot was a big deal. I recall his saying that Braniff was the best for pilots because its routes were South to North and back, so he didn't have to fly into the sun. Her older brother went east to college, perhaps WIlliams. He drove a Sunbeam or TR2 or something similar. Very cool. So sorry to read this news. Rob

So very sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. it was always fun to play at her house on Desco. Her father was an airline pilot and had fun stories to tell. May she rest in peace with her first love Conan.
