I am so sad to learn of Anna's passing. Anna and I were friends and neighbors for several years while we were growing up and attending Klondike High School. After I moved to NY in 1966 we lost touch but reconnected in 1988 when I returned for a Klondike reunion. Since then we have kept in touch through letters and yearly Christmas cards. I have so many memories of growing up with Anna and the fun times we shared. She was a good friend and I will miss her. My heartfelt sympathies to her family.
