I am wondering if this is the Susan Leep who lived in Whitesboro, New York in early 70's and attended Whitesboro Central High School. If so, she was a very dear friend of mine and I am truly saddened by her passing. I have many fond memories of our times together. If you could email me [email protected] if this is the Susan I suspect as our class was trying to locate her.
