Alice was a dear South High School friend. We met again at our 45th and 50th School reunion. We talked and talked with Jan and Pat and JoEllen. If I remember right we were all in the Pet Club or Social Arts Club together. What a great friend she was all those years. I knew your Dad too, Dave was also great. Please accept my condolences for all your families. Sorry I live in Texas now with my Daughter and her husband or I would be at the services.
