I did not know Dawn very well, but was well aquainted with Dale and Dennis. I am very sorry for your loss. I still remember the house on Main Street, about the 1500 block. Sometimes we used to sit outside on the steps and talk when we were young. I talked to Dale on the phone about two years ago out here, but he was sort of busy at the time. I live in Pleasanton, CA and have for 45 years. I read the obits everyday from the Tribune and hate losing old friends even if they are not as close as they were when attending Central. I am so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace. RB
