I remember all the good times we had together, especially going to Ocean City with the gang, getting sunburned all week and playing Truth or Dare.Suzy Smith (Green)

Monica attended Miraleste High School with me in Palos Verdes, California. Neither of us knew that both of us had moved that summer in 1976, before our junior year. It was a difficult adjustment at first, then I saw Monica, at Langley! She was a beautiful angel. Her bright smile and kind words always brightened my day. Whenever I saw Monica I knew everything was as it should be.
