Willis was one of the nicest guys you could know and a good friend. After serving time in Viet Nam, he was stationed at Fort Lewis in Tacoma, Washington where I was also stationed. We had some great times with him and Eamma. It's great to reflect on the memory of a great guy. 

Sandy was the first young woman I ever tried to dance with and she didn't even laugh at my clumsy toe stepping effort. I liked her for that and her genuine personality

Clipping from the paper.  Just the kind of thing Sandy would do.

Being from homogenous Bowling Green, when a teacher brought up a question regarding solving the problem of racial stife in our country, most of us, at least from my parochial perspective, were pretty clueless.  I very distinctly remember, though, in some class in the 9th grade, I think, Sandy speaking up and observing that the only real solution was a lot of intermarriage.  At the time, in Bowling Green in the early 60's, I was really impressed by what I thought was a very astute observation.  She was a good one.

She retired in July 2013 after a successful career as fiscal officer and income tax administrator of Fort Recovery. Catherine was instantly killed in a traffic accident the following October.

I remember Debbie's eyes; I am not sure why. Her eyes and a ready smile made her face radiate through the halls of BGHS. In her adult life, Deb loved dogs! She owned many and showed them in competitions around the country. She belonged to many dog clubs. After 25 years at BGSU working in clerical positions, Deb retired allowing her more time to pursue her interests in quilting and sewing, making gifts for family and friends. Unfortunately, she lost her courageous battle with cancer. She was survived by her four legged companion, Jaxson.
