I have fond memories of Lu and the entire Beck family when we'd visit Portland. Of course, Lu was among mom's (Alice Wanke stephens) very best friends...perhaps they're hiking together now. much love and sympathy, lynn...

Wish I had known her. She was evidently quite a wonderful woman!

(Also in the photo is Mary Hargreaves, who also passed away recently.) Both wonderful ladies,...
