Hi, Classmates. Fellow classmate Deb Laventhal Burkholder and I have collaborated on a children's book about her old Dog Maggie. She wrote the story and asked me to illustrate it. A fun project with satisfying results.

Cheri was one of my best friends at Franklin. While I think that I ususally gave the impression of a "good girl," I was often a back-up player to Cheri's antics. I remember The Santa Mouse sketch very well, including the large quantities of liquor consumed prior to the performance.
Cheri was certainly one of a kind. I attended her funeral and was so sad that she had ended her life.
Chris was very special. Physically beautiful, artistically talented, and really, really smart. In high school I certainly wanted to be more like her. I remember admiring her distinctive signature, a tall ascenders and an impressive curvey "S". She seemed to have it all. But with all the gifts we admired, I now know there were other less enviable pieces to her life. As I get older, there always seems to be more to add to a picture snapped in my youth, new lenses to look through, new filters to be applied.
Marguerite,
I was happy to hear that you will be attending the reunion. Can't wait to see you again.
