Hello John,
 
I'm not quiet sure how I got on this list but happy that I am.
I think I registered on classmates.com at some point and it connected through there.
 
I only attended Williams High for my senior year after moving to Burlington because of my dad's job transfer from Massachusetts, so I didn't develop the personal connections that many of you have that grew up together there, and I'm certainly not offended if you and others don't remember me.  I only spent that one year in Burlington since I went to Appalachian after graduation.
 
Anyway, other than saying hello, I'm passing along some sad news that I just found out about from my mom who keeps in touch with Muriel Worden who was Tom Worden's mom. Tom passed away on New Years Eve.  Tom graduated with us and moved from NJ maybe only a year or so before I did.  He lived down the road from me and was a very good friend to me that year I spent in Burlington.

Wow, I cannot believe Tom has passed away. What a great fellow, he always had a great laugh about him and always had a smile on his face. I wished I had been fortunate to have seen him at some of our past reunions we had.
He was a very quite person, but a real good guy. He will be missed. God bless his family through all of this.
