Our mothers were classmates at PLHS '42. My Mom, Margaret Gurnee Baer enjoyed going to her reunions, and they must have re-connected, because your Mom signed Margaret's yearbook with her married name. That last year in High School must have been hard, with the war raging. I really only remember Mom talking about their classmate Robert Roe who went on to become a Senator from NJ. Thank you for getting me to pull out the '42 Pioneer, and bringing back some good memories. Margaret died a few years ago. I hope you had many good years with your Mom. Sincerely, Nancy Baer
