Hi, to all of you. For some reason, I decided to call your mom this evening in Pahrump just on the spur of the moment because we haven't talked since she stopped in to see me in Newport Beach several years ago and we talked so long about all the stuff she and Jeanne O'dell and I did working for Langdon Avenue school all those years ago. I was planning on telling her of the very sudden death of Jeanne last June of a heart attack also. I was unable to reach her in Pahrump of course and so I found this when I googled your name, Craig, and so I am writing to say how sad I was to read of your mom's passing. She and Jeanne and I spent many many hours together and became very good friends long ago in Sepulveda. and so I would like to extend my most heartfelt sympathy to all of you and your families. . Hopefully, you will remember me. Melinda, my middle child, was in your class, Craig. Love, Jan Hocker
