Sandy was a sparkplug on the Austin Cheerleading Team. I remember her always smiling and gregarious and was closely attached to the other cheerleaders. She was a beautiful Queen of the football court. A little over a year after graduation, Josie and I met up with her in Amarillo and we all went to dinner. We talked about our great days at AHS, then, shortly thereafter we learned of her untimely passing. We are sad that Sandy left us so early and I know that she is greatly missed by many of her classmates. Bob Short #74
Sandy exuded a love of life and a casual disregard for convention that put many of us under her spell. She seemed to always be above the fray, never letting mere humans impact her too dramatically. We were either awed by, or loved her no matter what she said or did, but for sure, she was always had us at, "hello".
Kenneth McAdams, who was Sandys' squeeze and I drove to Lubbock in 1961 to visit Sandy, who had just begun her first semester at Texas Tech. Sandy fixed me up with a date from her dorm and the four of us went to a dance at the gymnasium on campus. Kenneth returned to Lubbock on several occasions to visit and comfort Sandy following that first visit.
Sandy Wedgeworth was my next door neighbor from the nineth grade to graduation. We grew up together! She and I used to dance (modern dance) to Dave Brubek in each of our houses. I was very upset by her untimely death which happened very soon after we graduated.

I remember that infectious smile and those tiny freckles.

Sandy had a natural talent for getting people behind the team, acting in unison as one voice. She was a "people" person 100%
