I wonder what’s happened to my former classmates…I know my friend Chad died very early, it seems like at least 25 years ago. And I’ve been in email contact with Beverly Tharp, a very good professional photographer living in San Francisco. I also got as close as Terry Malang’s sister, who reported on his whereabouts.
I imagine some of these former third graders are still living in Hawaii. If you see anyone you know, leave a comment, please!
