It was indeed a pleasure to be in the same high school class as Elva - MHS 1946
I knew then that she would accomplish great things.
My sincere condolences to her family.

I remember Elva as a somewhat rare combination of being very smart and a very good athlete. She rightly deserved being valedictorian of our class of 1946 at MHS. She was quite modest about her accomplishments. At our 50th reunion I made a remark to her about how smart I thought she was to get such good grades. She responded that she thought it was a matter of working harder at studies than intelligence. I admired her, and offer my sympathy to her family on their loss.

I graduateed with Elva in the 1946 class from Middletown High School. A lovely and intelligent individual and always knew Elva would make it to the top.
May she rest in peace.
