Our childhood neighborhood consisted of the Stearns kids (Gail, Glenn, Carol and Chip), Cynthia and Cleon Morse, Sandi Wienka and later Gordon and Locke Sanborn. I have great memories of Sandi and am so grateful that Fred and I stopped to see her last June. We had emailed on occasions, but it was so good to see her. Rest in Peace my friend. Carol Stearns Bock

Oh my goodness, I have so many memories of good times with Sandi and with her mom and dad too. Sandi and I listened to the 45's of the 50's music - Elvis, Fats Domino and the Everly Brothers and more. We traveled to Old Orchard Beach, UVM, and did jeep tours of old 'wood' roads in VT with unsuspecting out of town visitors. Sandi and I even skipped a class to go to the golf club one day - oh yeah, we got caught!! In typing class, her fingers flew over the keyboard like a racecar. Her life was not easy, but she never complained. Sandi loved her daughters with all of her heart and treasured her pets, especially 'Miss Molly'. She spoke her mind without hesitation. She was a dear friend and will be remembered always.
