I am so sorry to hear of Connie's passing. She was the first one to invite me to a Senior Net gathering, that was held out on the Delta,near Stockton, CA around '91... Connie was one of the more computer able of us, and she taught classes... She was a regular at our gatherings... we went to Reno, Las Vegas, and Pasadena with senior netters.. and I think she was on our weekend cruise, just after the earthquake in Northridge... that was an event!! Has her funeral already taken place. She now watches over her family, and is a shining star in heaven!! Bless you all.

I still remember the really great times we had at Connie's house during my days at Roosevelt Junior High. She was a fantastic person and I offer my sincere condolences to her family.
