Betsy, Mia, Lyman, Susie, John: Bunny & I traveled very different paths after our graduation from the Buffalo Seminary in 1956, but almost converged in the end--she in MT, I in Idaho! How happy my husband & I were to spend time w/ her at the cabin (beautifully designed by John) in August, 2007. Since then, we have kept in touch by phone & she has been a big help to me in confronting "the Big C" w/ her example of courage, humor, & razor-sharp intellectual insight. Her absence next year at our 55th high school reunion will leave a gap never to be filled. Love to all of you, Patsy Runk Sweeney.
