In July 2010 someone used the online Update Address form to provide the home address information for classmate Beverly Wilhite Quick. However, there was no email address shown. Attempts have been made to phone Beverly but they have not been successful.
At the present time we are not sure if an email address was omitted on purpose or accidentally. If you can provide details on this situation please use the Blog News link to contact me. Thanks.
This obituary is for the brother of Mary Lynn Tuminello Johnson. Please keep Mary Lynn and her family in your prayers.

Over the past several weeks I have been working with a classmate who is unable to gain access to the Email Directory file. Web site statistics that I receive don't show a problem in this area, but I wanted to ask anyway if other classmates may have the same problem. If so, please let me know. When you write please include a complete description of the steps you take to try to gain access to the Directory. Thanks.
