I've looked for Jill off and on for the past 40+ years. I started looking again about a week ago. I just found this and cried!!!!
This is Carla Branch, class of '73. I'm stunned, Jill, Francis Savage and I were great friends at SHAPE!!! Jill and I were inseparable. We did reconnect for a short while after we came back to the states. She told me she married a wonderful man and had two beautiful children. We lost touch again after my many moves. As we all know, such is the life of a military family!!!
I have thought of Jill many times over the years and remember our many escapades at SHAPE and being TAs for the kindergarten classes, among many other things, lol. Memorable days I will carry with me till the end of my days. Jill was the best friend I ever had all those years ago and she still lives in my heart today!!! I even still have the stuffed elephant she gave me back then. She loved elephants!!!
Picture of us in Holland on Senior Skip Day. I take comfort in knowing I will see her again one day!!!
