Barbara, So sorry to hear about your mother. Losing a parent is a difficult passage, and I will be thinking about you and your family.
I see Cynthia (Myers) Poole frequently, and we were just thinking about our time
at Goodlettsville High recently. The school has been torn down to make way for a new middle school building. Again, my sympathy to your family. Linda (Wooten) Highers GHS '68
