Thanks Nancy, I know your last name was Hunter. Sorry for the misprint. I fixed it.

Don was my 1st love when he and I were 12 yrs. old. His family lived across the street from us in Oakland and we attended Hunt Jr. High and Mt. T together. Although, he went on to other girls and relationships in Jr. High I will always hold a special place in my heart for Donny. I didn't know he was sick until he died. Sad, I didn't get to say goodbye. My love goes out to his sisters and I hold onto great memories of the summers we has fun together.

Billie and I met at Hunt Jr. High. I attended there in the 9th grade and we rode the bus together. As it turned out she lived a cpl. blocks from me. We bacame good friends and when school announced Talent Show in Spring she got together 4 other girls to sing with and made up the "Velveteens" which changed to "Velvets" over time. We were made up of Linda Anderson, pianist; Billie Ellwanger, Nancy Hanson, Mary Wright, Janice Durance and Kathy Faker(me) as a singing group.  We performed every yr. in the Talent Show and at nursing homes and pancake breakfasts and spagetti dinners. It was lots of practices and work but we had a fun time working together thru our time at Mt. T. Billie and Linda Anderson have passed away but Heaven has gained a very talented piano player and talented Alto singer to their Choir.

It is with great sadness to announce the death of our 1st born son, Kevin Patrick. He passed on Feb. 24, 2022. Leaving wife Kathryn. no children. After 7 months I still can't believe he won't be calling each week and I won't hug or see his smile anymore. Thank God we have a grandbaby I take care of 3 days a week to help me survive this difficult time. Gone too soon but always a part of our heart

Congrats Terry and Bob on your move. My sis lives outside Phoenix, and loves living there, except she misses the green trees of the NW. So she comes home a couple times a yr. Protect your skin with sunscreen. My husband needed several skin surgeries after wintering in AZ.
