As one of Judy Gann’s classmates at Marissa Grade School in Marissa, Illinois where I attended from January 1960. We were friends throughout high school, as well in Marissa Township High School. Judy and I attended the United Presbyrerian Church together in Marissa where we were active members singing in the choir, participating in Sunday School, Youth Fellowship, and Missionary Circle as high school students. Our parents were friends. She, sometimes, spent the night at my house and we had lot of fun together. Judy was the Senior Class Treasurer in high school and she played trumpet in the band. She and I didn’t see each other after I moved away upon graduation, and I am sorry we lost touch. I will keep her in my thoughts forever. When our Class of 1965 has its reunions, she will be greatly missed! My condolences to Jim and her family.
