This came from Homer Fitts last evening -  

HI JANE,

    YOU ARE 100% RIGHT IN YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT

TUCKY.    SURELY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE LEFT WITH THE SAME GREAT FEELINGS OF HER.   I AM ONE JUST LIKE YOU.    NEVER ACTUALLY MET HER BUT HAVE CORRESPONDED FOR YEARS.     IT STARTED WHEN SHE WAS SENDING " RIDDEL "INFORMATIOIN ABOUT ELSIE'S FAMILY.    WE HAVE CONTINUALLY CONTACTED EACH OTHER FOR PROBABLY 20 YEARS. MY CLASS OF 1944.....SPAULDING ALUMNI ..... JUST A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.    SHE WAS SURELY A WHIZ AT FINDING WHATEVER INFORMATION AND GETTING IT TO PEOPLE.

    HAPPY THAT YOU HAD THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CORRESPOND WITH HER.

HOMER

I want to thank MK who alerted us about Tucky's passing.  MK (and we don't know who he/she is) came upon our website and found references to Tucky on the blog, etc., so was kind enough to e-mail us with the link to Tucky's obituary.  We very much appreciate this thoughtfulness.

We had not heard from Tucky for some time, but that was not unusual since she was always very busy and there ofter were long stretches when we didn't communicate, but then we'd have a flurry of e-mails back and forth, sharing information and sometimes concerns.  I will certainly miss that.
