With my family moving out of state to CA in 1978, I never made it back to Northbrook (accept for a couple reunions), where I regret losing touch with many friends. Too bad we didn’t have Facebook back then. Recently I have spent some time surfing the internet, sadly learning of classmates no longer with us, but happy to still have memories of them.
