I remember playing with Allison and her sister Wendi as a young girl.. Sad not to be able to meet up with her again. Peace to Allison and her family.

Allison was the author of "The Painted Ribbon" in 6th grade... a weekly serial mystery story in which each episode ended with a trap door or the lights going out.
She was a great party girl, and serious in sports. Kathy Flanz would tell stories about missing the ball in field hockey and Allison running over to forcefully instruct her to get with the game.
The last time I saw her---it was around the time of the 25th reunion---she said she was a foreman on a macademia ranch on on of the Hawaiin islands. She became a total Hawaiian, like Bill Starkgraf.
