INTRODUCTION
Greetings Huskies:
CONDOLENCES: Richard L. FitzGerald,
Class of 1982, passed away on
September 15th. He is survived by his parents, Catherine
Crosby, and
Donald FitzGerald. Also, his siblings, all Peary grads,
Skip-'76,
Donny-'78, Denise-'79, Dennis-'79, Karen-'79, and
Tim-'80. Sister
In-laws, Karen Wilson FitzGerald-'81, Laurie Yost
FitzGerald-'78.
Contributions in lieu of flowers can be made to Hero's
Inc., Washington,
DC. The family wishes to extend its thanks for your
support during this
difficult time.
CLASS OF 1970: For those who may be
unaware, Kathleen Clark Danforth
reports that her best friend and 1970 alumna Irene French
died in
February 1994.
PRAYERS: Patrick Casteel (Class of 83
and living in Wausau, Wisconsin)
had a heart attack Sat. August 28. Doctors performed a
6-bypass surgery
and he's doing okay. Patrick also suffers from adult
diabetes and it
has been a real struggle with special diets and insulin
shots.
Patrick's coworkers donated vacation time to allow the
six weeks
required for him to recover (since his company's current
disability plan
does not cover everything). Get well soon to a
full-recovery, Patrick.
Patrick would love to hear from some of his old
classmates he feels he
was very fortunate enough to have grown up with at
patrickcasteel@hotmail.com
WEDDING BELLS: Dave Rush, Class of
1971, is engaged to be married on
Saturday, October 16 to, as Dave describes, "a hot
young French babe."
