Kim was among those people who were considered part of our class but for some reason did not graduate June 6, 1971. It doesn't make her any less of a classmate, but I do not have a senior picture. Actually, she and I started school in Medway and I may have a third grade picture around here someplace. I don't remember when she moved, but it was sometime! Sorry to hear of yet another death in the class.

Rest well Burly. Your essence lives forever in my spirit. As long as that is true, you will always live. Peace
