We could never thank Claudia enough for her energy and skills in organizing the majority of our class reunions. If we couldn't find a missing classmate, Claudia would somehow know who she could contact to find out where the classmate was now!  She was the force behind keeping our class "connected".  But, oh how she disliked computers!!  

I will miss calling her and hearing her signature greeting "hello"!  Nobody said "hello" like she did!  She was always on the go and never missed spending the winter months in Florida.   We will all miss seeing her at our monthly Mini Reunions.  

RIP Claudia
