My condolences to the family of Mrs Buchly. I went to Rock Creek from 1977 to 1984 and I got to work in the office with Mrs. Buchly as a "super sixer" in the 6th grade. She was always sweet to me from Kindergarden thru the 6th grade.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. We will always remember her dancing at Becca and Matt's wedding.

Marylee was the first person who "screened" me before setting up an interview for me to work at RCF in 1978. We were all like a family at RCF. She drove around with Louise Rosenberg's ashes in her car for a long time and we laughed about it.
I enjoyed working with Marylee and Louise for many, many years!
My condolences go out to Karen, Steve and Mark for your loss.
