Classmate connections

(This page was launched in 2016 - but not sure how much 'traffic' it receives when folks log in.  But of course, the info doesn't change often.  It's 'fun facts' about some of our classmates as well as others around our age.

I love knowing 'stuff' about our school family members.  Know of other connections? Send info to Irma thru the Contact Us tab (or directly to:  irmawcomer@gmail.com
