Mary Ellen and I were good friends in high school. After that she went to KU and on the nursing school somewhere(I think in Oklahoma) and she moved eventually to California. I lost touch with her. In 1992 she called me out of the blue and said she was coming to our 30th reunion that summer. She had flown into Wichita to visit her mother and so she took the bus to Topeka. My husband(who had never met her)and I picked her up and from the minute she got off that bus it was as if those 30 years had disappeared. We had such a great time at the Reunion that year.
I saw her again a couple of times when she came through town and then we lost touch again. Bobbie Barrows(Dreiling)kept in better touch with her and called me about 2 years ago to tell me that Mary Ellen had lung cancer. A few weeks later, she was gone.
