So great to have "spunky" Nancy in our High School class. We really missed her at our reunions after she and Jim moved to Modesto.

I can't remember the last time I saw Nancy but am certain that it was at least thirty years ago. I add this memorial though by going back even further to the 6th grade at "Little" Jeff. We were class mates and (how do I put this), Nancy had a crush on me. On a number of occasions, she chased me around the school yard. I can't say I minded. Nancy was a fun filled person and coiuld run very fast. I think she had Olympic capability. Hearing her name again today brings back memories of a great school experience and the many dedicated teachers we had. Our class went in many different directions after graduation but could always be thankful for the training we received.
I wish Nancy's family the best as you remember your mother and grandmother. I can assure you that you would have been proud to call her your friend had you gone to school with her.
Sincerely,
E. Floyd Kvamme
