Anna was a huge influence in me in high school as I learned to sing for various singing groups. Later on our lives while she was out here in California visiting, we happened to be at a minor league baseball game at the same time. We got together to talk and did some catching up. It was such a great reunion. She was an amazing, kindest person I got to know in high school. It doesn't surprise me at all of the accolades she received through the years. God bless Anna and RIP.
