My memory of the past is fading but who could forget the day when the Principal of the Jr. High, Edmond Spencer, went on a killing spree. I'm sure you've had many comments about that.

I am living at the Casa de Manana, a retirement home, in a unit overlooking the ocean.

There are very nice people here. One, I learned had had the same third grade teacher at Marengo Ave School (Miss Crabtree). That is Trudy Arthur Erickson, a few years ahead of me. Lee Simpson was in my class though I did not know her then.
