...from a 3/12/03 email from Toni Tarrant Bell, who had mentioned the following briefly
during the Mini:
"...What a terrific turnout. I talked with Judy Ketcham McKey this am and she's thrilled with the idea
of having her address on the web for anyone who would like to write...

Judy has been in poor health for many years. She is bedridden and very crippled with both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, although one would never guess when they see her outstanding script..."

The Atrium, where Judy lives, is an extended care facility, and her husband Jim is in the assisted living portion of the same facility...

Florence Bowes...from an Al Sforza e-mail of 2/17/03

...I STILL COMMUNICATE WITH FLORENCE BOWES (TOAZ--room 212 as we recall--, SOCIAL
STUDIES TEACHER) FLORENCE HAS HAD NUMEROUS STROKES AND LOST PART OF HER SPEECH
BUT WELL INTO HER 80'S AND STILL GOING STRONG...I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE THAT
IF YOUR CLASSMATES REMEMBER HER AS WELL AS I DO...THEY MIGHT DROP HER A
LINE...I KNOW SHE WOULD ENJOY HEARING FROM THEM

... a 4/9/03 email from Jim Sweenie:

Using a news clipping that Emily Agnew sent me I located Henry Strickland who was one of our Dix Hills teachers. He was a pretty cool guy albeit a tad of a hardass on some of us, me included. Nonetheless, I called him and had a great conversation plus telling him of the reunion plans and so forth. It ended up with him wanting to attend our fiftieth reunion. I suggest that we include him in this and also consider including
him in earlier ones as well.
He does not have e-mail so it is snail all the way...

You may want to post the address and phone on the web site for the other Dix Hillers who may want to contact him.
