I was so surprised and sad to see that Jeanne had passed away. I was planning on going to see her next weekend. Last fall when I was in Antigo we had a nice long visit. My mom had so many stories of "the gang" when they were in high school. I remember when a bunch of them dressed up in poodle skirts for one of the class reunions. Such happy memories. Sending hugs to Al and all the kids.
