I am slowly putting all the paperwork, books, & pictures "to bed" for a few years (forever?) I've come across a short list of "bad emails".
Anyone know who these might belong to??
[email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] Anyone have any info on these 3 classmates?

Here is a bit of trivia for you. If you went to Franklin Jr. High School, and were in the ninth grade, do you recall 4 girls were coached by Miss Henry (PE teacher) on her own time and theirs, to run the 440yrd relay in the Jr. Olympics and won a blue ribbon for first place, at record speed, that day. They were the first-ever (girls)to date, that received an official letterman's sweater letter(without the sweater)LOL, in the history of the school. They were awarded it at an assembly held at Franklin Jr High. Do you remember?

Kathy Stieger (Collins), Dianna Jensen, Sally Gill, Cindy Current.
