So many fine and funny memories of Judy.  So bright and fun to be around.

We were in Summer Honors chemistry together, held at Lakewood High (Millikan's Dopple Ganger).  I gave her a ride home almost every day.   The class had a beach picnic to celebrate it's end, and can I still remember swimming out to the bouys that day.

We were walking partners at graduation and I remember hugging afterwards, just before we boarded the double decker bus to Disneyland.   I was totally blown away when she gave me a kiss.  I never expected that at all.

Judy, I was really looking forward to seeing you at atleast one of the reunion activities.   You are truly and deeply missed.

Rest in peace my wonderful, lovely  friend.

Oh, no!  Do you know when and how, or what she did with all that wonderful chemistry?

It was in 2012 as far as I can tell.

She was a Chistian Science Practitioner, and had health issues with either breast cancer or heart attack.

I'm so sorry to hear this.  She was fun!

Judy wrote an article in a CS journal about her chest pain in 2011.  As a practitioner, I'm sure that is how she treated it.  I have contacted her family and hope to hear back.

Judy and I were "physic lab assistents" in Mr. Greeley's (sp) afternoon physics class in our senior year. Gosh, how I remember the crush I had on her... She was wonderful and always caring & friendly. She was always in my thoughts and I was jealous as heck when Howard Higgins asked her first to the graduation night at Disneyland. Howard, you and myself were very lucky to have known her.  She was very special to me from afar. I was just too shy to ask her out...

Actually, Judy asked me to be her walking partner at graduation - which is what made me the 3rd across the stage.   I went to Disneyland with my girlfriend Susie from Mayfair HS (same night).

I didn't remember Judy and you were the phsics lab assistants.   I'm jealous of you for that.   I was one of the chemistry lab Assts.   What a Joke.   After the summer Judy and I spent in the Honors chem class, I was looking for a fantastic time.   

It was the most boring class I ever had at Millikan - we did literally NOTHING all year, but sit around and BS.  What a letdown.  I would have LOVED to have helped in setting up Mr. G's experiments.    (and maybe have gone into Physics rather than chemistry in college)

You're right, Judy was a wonderful person.   The world lost one of its best and brightest with her passing.
