I was saddened to read that our classmate Leola Troxel Foiles has passed away.  When Leola and I saw each other around town (Newton) she would always act pleased to see me and I was happy to see her.  We would talk about "current" things around Newton as well as news regarding some of our classmates that we had recently heard from, etc.  I will remember her and her cheerful smile....like most of us, we have blossomed as we have grown older.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Robert and  family. 

Blessings to all of you..Judy (Donaldson) Winsky
