In high school Evan and I were good friends and played football side-by-side on the line. I regret we lost touch after graduation. His death came to light through the Hobart HS Alumni Association.

I hope Lynne gets this email and replies. I'd like to know how he died so young.

Sincerely,

George

Thanks to the help of Gene Bonta, Lynn and I spoke today (1/17/12). It was a treat. She seems to be self-assured, articulate, and fun woman...just like I remember her 50 years ago.

I remained saddened by Evan's death but am relieved to know Lynn and her labadoodle are living with zest.
