Hi....   From: overland park, ks Email: bobbychas@earthlink.net   charles hatton Sunday, 7/2/00, 7:23 PM   From: overland park, ks   Scott Rosene Thursday, 6/29/00, 9:31 PM   From: Topeka Email: scott@topekayfc.org   Mrs Carolyn Dahl Jones Thursday, 6/29/00, 12:56 PM   My mother, Carolyn Dahl Jones, was a Social Sciences teacher from 1962-1982. Some of you may be unaware that she passed away May 9th of last year (1999) from complications following open heart surgery. She was in California visiting nephews and nieces when she suffered a heart attack. She had recently celebrated her 80th birthday at the Topeka Presbyterian Manor where she had lived for about 2 years. For those of you who knew her, I'm sure you'll remember "IALAC," her hugs, her zest for life and learning, and her unconditional love for her students. She often said that her 20 years at Washburn Rural were the happiest years of her life! Mom attended many reunions through the years and this Grand Reunion 2000 would have been especially exciting for her. I'm sure she'll be there in spirit. Sincerely, Kristine Jones Erb.   From: Topeka, KS   Janet Wilhite Wednesday, 6/28/00, 9:35 AM   Sorry I will be unable to attend the reunion. I know a great time will be had by all.   From: Gainesville, FL Email: OhTexas@Earthlink.com   Al Camblin Tuesday, 6/13/00, 7:33 AM   My early years at Rural were the best. It is a real joy to hear from so many of you. I was your Art and Humanities teacher in the '60's, and became the Principal of Rural from 1971-75. I then served in other schools, including Auburn and Pauline South, in the district, finishing my career at the new Jay Shideler Elementary School from 1990 to 1998. It is a GREAT school, recieving national attention. I was named Kansas Principal OF The Year, 1998-99. I hope I can make it to your reunion, but I know now that I have a conflict. We will see what I can do about that ! Let me hear from you.   From: Topeka Email: alcamblin@aol.com   Kathy Rafferty Monday, 6/12/00, 6:09 AM   Another brat that had to depart her senior year for Washington, DC--but WRHS remained in my heart !!! Retired 3 years ago after 21 years in the Air Force, Lt Col, Personnel career field. Wonderful exciting career. Now director of a military transition workshop, where I return to a requested military base to assist retiring military personnel with their transition to a successful civilian work and lifestyle. Great fun and reward !!!   From: Living in Texas now...
