I remember Elaine very well.  Because our names were close alphabetically we sat one in front of the other in every class we shared and, it seemed like we shared a lot of classes over the years.  Rest in Peace old friend.

Elaine was a good friend and we had several enjoyable talks as we walked home from Fenger.  After graduation we lost contact but met again in Knox, IN.  We attended two of the reunions together.  She was always spreading the Good News everywhere she went.
