We seem to all be suffering a common problem these days, WHERE DID OUR LIVES GO? Our brains seem to still be 18, but our bodies are talking a different language. Sarah Orne Jewett puts it much more eloquently than do I:

“Neither of my companions was troubled by her burden of years. I hoped in my heart that I might be like them as I lived on into age, and then smiled to think that I too was no longer very young. So we always keep the same hearts, though our outer framework fails and shows the touch of time.”

"Those are the best friends - the ones we have for a long time like us, friends since 4th grade." Officer Barney Fife to Sheriff Andy Taylor, The Andy Taylor Show

Another of our wonderful KHS65 GIRLS passes away, RIP Susan Wallach Rothenheber

 I am so sorry to have to post the way-too-early death of another of our classmembers.  Susan Wallach died on 7th December.    You can scroll down the right side of this blog to the image of our PIONEER yearbook and click it then go to page 220 for Sue's entry.  She went to Mizzou too.  I am so sorry I lost contact with her in more recent years; for a long time we corresponded regularly.  She and her hubby lived in Frontenac, near the border with Des Peres, just off Bopp Road, not far from where I lived for awhile at KHS & later in Harwood Hills.  Her dad was a well-known coach around town, either at one of the colleges or another high school...somewhere in my archives I have a record of it, but I think some of our classmates may remember.  I hope she did not linger in ill health for some long time, none of us deserves that and she certainly didn't. RIP Sue!
