Dear Karl, Gay and Elena – I was so very sorry to hear about Marg’s passing. She was a dear childhood friend and always had her trademark smile when I saw her in later years. So many special memories of her when we were kids. The birthday parties, sports teams, school photos, play times, etc. I was also just remembering when Marg and Tina organized the walk out at Bonner as a revolt against male teachers walking into the female bathrooms! Good job Marg. Your spirit lives on.
