9 Feb 2020My love and condolences to all the family. Jackie and I were close friends in high school. I loved her sense of humor and I must admit we were a bit mischievous together. The only high school prank I recall was taking straws out of the open boxes (there was one box on each cafeteria table). We plugged the bottom of a couple of straws with butter, then filled the straws partway with salt, then put them back in the box! Only once did we see someone take one and make a face. I know we are both sorry for that. Oh! And on rare occasions we might plead illness and then meet up in the nurse’s room for an hour. We never skipped out on a whole school day however. We had some sense of priorities! She was so much fun to pal around with. I have to thank Carol Burk for keeping in touch with this dear hearted lady. I love kitties too!
