I am saddened to learn of Donnas passing. I met her on my first day of school in the 2nd grade at Green School. She was always smiling.

Donna and I were good friends in 6th grade. Often I would go over to her house for lunch while in school. Of course you had 45 minutes back in those days. She was a very talented Accordian Player and Piano Player. We were in typing class together in our Sophmore year and she could type 60 words per minute on a manual typewriter. The requirement for an A was only 45 WPM. I think she had an advantage because of her piano playing. She was a good friend.
