Bonnie Bridger (Mittelmaier) (1969)
I will always remember Billie Jean and her sweet little smile. Because her last name was Black, both her sister Mary and she were usually assigned in the homeroom I landed in. We would spend just those few moments together, laughing, talking and then off we would all sail to whatever our first class would be. Seems like an eternity has passed since then. So sad to learn of this loss. Bonnie Bridger Mittelmaier
