I was very sorry to hear about Alpha's passing. I was also a member of the class of 1952. Alpha would send an email to let us know of a classmates passing. My heartfelt sympathy goes to her family.

Alpha was a great alumnus of Woodrow Wilson High, making all the arrangements
for every reunion, helping me with my
ancestry and always ready to help with anything. I will miss her seeing how much she enjoyed Shrimp Cocktail at the
Cypress get-togethers. Unfortunately I was out of town last week but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
