Jamye was one of our Class Favorites In the first Class at Southwest.

I worked with Jamye in the mid 1970s at the Jerre R. Todd & Associates advertising agency in downtown Fort Worth. I remember her as a vivacious and sweet young woman. Wishing peace and comfort to her family. It seems she is gone too soon . . .
