Grew up being a classmate and dear friend to Anne Wilson. We had so many fun times camping in her back yard and exploring the farm on which I grew up. She was a wonderful cook even at an early age. Even though she left our class and attended Peace, she attended our class reunions still feeling a part of the class she had grown up
with. Extending my sympathy to all of you.
