It is hard to imagine cramming more into either the small biographical form Fay  Eakin Brumback sends out to all of us, or into a lifetime.  Carolyn died on Wednesday, 1 March 2006.  And so there is one more reason to come to a reunion, to bring a friend, to re-discover those who made the journey with you, along paths parallel yet intertwined with your own.  In the end, it  is one reason of somewhat more importance and finality than the others.

Friends & family have said "Yes" to the Washington Post's offer to start a Website service  where you may add your own condolences.    The Washington Post published the obituary, then offered the service.  It is a commercial operation run by legacy.com.  Paying $30 to keep the site up a year ("sponsoring the site", as the company puts it) would be a nice gift from the class or a classmate.  I can archive the messages here after that.  In the meantime, I added Hunter's photo to the guest book.
