| 12 Jan 2023 | The 1950 US Census has recently been released, and we have been
able to find information on many members of the Class. This does not help us
find current contact information; mostly, it allows us to find parents &
siblings, and death records. Sixteen members of the Class have been moved from
the first two tables into the Deceased table. They are: Patricia Cozette "Patty" Briscoe Williams, of Shelbyville, Indiana, died September 21, 2000; 8th grade only.

Brief update (can I cover nearly 60 years in a few words?): I married Jacob
Gabbay whom I met at I.U. We had 4 children, then I went back to school for a
librarian's degree. This was my career for 30 years, during which time we
became grandparents to 7 boys and 2 girls, and moved around a lot. We have
settled now in Warrenton, about an hour south of Washington, D.C., a few
minutes away from one of our daughters and her family. I would love to hear
from classmates, or if anyone is in the Capital area, come see us! Best wishes
to all! Sue Davis Gabbay |
