Ellen Besse....The celebrity of the class of 62! I was amazed by her beauty. I did not have the pleasure of knowing her, however, I love all of my school mates. I send condolences and blessings to her family.

I shared a locker with Ellen one year at South. She was the most messy and disorganized person I'd ever met! But she was just a doll with a wonderful sense of humor and so fun to be around. I'm shocked and very sorry to learn of her passing...
