Happiest
memory: The friends
I made.
Funniest/weirdest coincidence: Anyone who
remembers George Sprinkel ('59) remembers how gorgeous
he was. Well, a few years ago I had the opportunity to
be his Judicial Assistant when he became a judge - what
a way to start the day! and what a small world!! Of course,
he used to tell everyone I graduated before him.
Bio: Don't know how you lost me, I've attended
the other two reunions, plus have lived in the same location
since 1966, until just recently, when I moved to Orlando
from Winter Park.
Future
plans and goals: Hope to retire someday!!!
