I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Nancy Fortune Lynch. I graduated from St. Aedan's School with her and twin brother Doug in June 1966. Later, she worked for my dad at Radiology Group, P.C. as a radiologic technician in his Whitney Avenue, Hamden, CT office in the late seventies and the early eighties. I used to chat with her at length in the hallway at the end of my visit about which included catching up on information about our former classmates. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to all her family members.
