[Otclassof1973] Class 73................Sad News

[Mary Junda]

Hey, Fellow Spartans,

Jim - Thanx 4 posting the info about  Eddie....Sure
      was sorry & saddened to hear this news today.

John - I remember Eddie, too, & think you hit the nail
       right on the head, that his "certain image back
       at OTHS that probably did not quite match the
       person." 

Tim - Your mention of both you & Eddie living on
      Evergreen Ave. in Wanamassa reminded me about
      the many times I spent visiting my folks close
      friends, Eleanor & Leon Britton [I always
      called them Aunt & Uncle], who lived on the
      corner of Appleby Dr. & Walnut Ave. Their 
      driveway was on the Walnut Ave. side & right 
      across street from Keith Karasic's front door.
      [it's hard to imagine that Keith has been gone
      just over 2 years, already]

Some of the Wanamassa School memories are a little
fuzzy around the edges [to say the least], but the
more I think about it, I'm pretty sure my bus route in
those days went from Bendermere Ave. to Logan Rd.,
then down Appleby Dr. to Wickapecko Dr. then into
Colonial Terrace. And I seem to remember getting
permission several times to get off the bus on Appleby
Dr. & my Mom & Aunt Ellie would meet me there.

Good childhood memories, for sure.

BTW, I looked through all our yearbooks for a class
picture of Eddie [guess he was pretty camera shy back
then]....finally found him on page 155 of the 1970
edition.

Then I remembered the Dow Ave. 8th Grade pix that we
had so much fun playing "Name That Classmate" with
right after our 30th reunion [see OT List archives Aug
& Sept '03]. Here is the link to Eddie's pic [right
next to Mrs. Stumpf]:

RIP, Eddie.
