Debbie & I were in Commercial Art classes together with Mr. Livengood. Both of us were on the Tatler staff, too. We took a lot of candid shots around campus. In fact I have some of Debbie, Sam Schwegel & me goofing off. I live in Brazil, so I did not know she had passed away. I was wondering what had happened to her. I would really like to know more about her life after graduation and any other information someone might have.Thanks. Bev
