I found this treasure while cleaning out my attic. My mother lovingly recorded all the names of my classmates. 2nd Grade at Barrington.
Pat and I met on the first day of first grade. Our mothers became friends, so we always had a pretty close connection all through high school, and then college. I think she would be so pleased to know what you all have said, and Dan, you hit the nail on the head when you said she was an independent thinker. Her husband of 36 years, Don Riechel, who had been a German professor at OWU, took excellent care of her through her Alzheimers journey. She ended up at the Forum in Columbus, and I visited her there a few times in the last couple of years. It broke my heart to see the light going out of her eyes. What a horrible disease. On a lighter note, if you watch the video on the Schoedingers website, you will see photos of a beloved "only child." (I'm the one wearing saddle shoes with shorts on a fall day in fourth grade). Pat obviously distinguished herself at OSU. She seemed to have mastered the difficult art of step-parenting as well. And she was a very good person.

Barbara, I remember when you moved to Arlington, maybe in 2nd grade! And you joined a Brownie troop and your mother was a leader. I remember going to a movie—maybe your birthday? I WANT to know what movie that was. It was a war movie and I’ve remembered it my whole life. Thanks for checking in to the class of 65.
Sorry to hear this Chris, You are such a good son to be taking care of things.
Happy Birthday, Ricky!! And many more—and thanks for keeping us all updated!
