How sad! Too many of our classmates have passed way too young!Ed Pratt
Val and I had a little thing for each other back in Jr. high. She's the first girl (of many) to break my heart. (My honor). She was an emncely talented musician and good soul. It's hard to believe 50+
years have passed since those days. We we're all lucky to be us!
