I don't have the slightest idea how this works but many thanks to Jim for setting it up. Have enjoyed being in contact with many of you. I was deeply saddened to hear about Jim Bash. Has anyone been in contact with Dave Cueny? I laughed about the 59 yearbook, there was a "wicked" picture that Cueny slipped in of a bunch of us playing bridge and smoking. If memory serves ( and it doesn't very well these days) Bash might have been in it. I do remember that we all got in trouble for that. Also have a vague memory of "protesting" with a sit down on the street in front of the school about the graduation plans 'cause we wanted to be outside and then "visiting" with the principal over that one ( in trouble again). I'm a retired social worker, retired from Columbine High School ( yup, THE Columbine) a few years ago. Was there, quite a life changing event. Monette Holmes Park
