Sally Workman

The Friday, April 18th, edition of the StarTribune published an obituary for Sally Workman, a member of our class. The obituary read:

"It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Dr. Sally Workman. Her friends and family are struggling with this tremendous loss. She leaves behind a son named Turner; sister, Dena; brother, Peter; countless nieces, nephews, numerous friends and colleagues. Sally's passion for life was expressed in her love for family, friends, her pets, gardening, life on the lake and late found career in chiropractic medicine. It is impossible to describe how much we will miss her. A celebration of her life will be held at The Excelsior Commons, Saturday, April 19, 6 PM. Dogs are invited. Dead Fish."

Our sympathies go out to Sally's family.

Congratulations!

1968 -- The Year That Rocked Our World

Got my copy of AARP Magazine today and there is an extensive story on 1968 that everyone might find interesting. It can be accessed at the AARP site at http://www.aarpmagazine.org/people/1968/.

Volunteer Located

Thanks to Lynn Steiner Osborn for volunteering to contact the 31 missing classmates for whom we have phone numbers but no addresses. Also, our sympathies to her and her family on the passing of her mother on Tuesday.

Volunteers needed

As of today, we still have 71 classmates for whom we have no valid street or email addresses (check the February 21 blog entry). However, we have phone numbers for 30 of those, which may or may not be valid. If anyone has the time to call five or ten of them to determine if the numbers are still valid and get the corresponding address information, we would appreciate it.


Contact us at mtkaclassof68@comcast.net if you are willing to volunteer.
