*** In 2006, a classmate's death was falsely reported to us by someone who claimed to be a friend. In the future, reporting of the passing of a classmate will not take place until it is verified by a family member or newspaper clipping. We did originally make the posting with a "(?)", but I do apologize for the error. I guess this is another reason why it would be advised to keep up to date on this page to make sure you are still thought to be with us.
