It seems like yesterday that Laurie and I sat next to each other in Latin American history at Sacramento State. The professor was awesome, and we were mesmorized by her knowledge. Laurie must have been a wonderful Spanish teacher with an excellent understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures. We had fun in college together, lots of laughs. My condolences go out to her loving husband and family. She was a great lady. With deepest sympathy, Carol Misterly Boice
