SANDRA LYNN PENWELL, '60, DECEASED:

How sad it is for me to report the passing of yet one more alumnus, this time, a member of my own 1960 class, SANDRA LYNN PENWELL. Please scroll down to see the link for her obituary. Thanks to 1959's GARY E. BARNES for submitting this one. I remember Sandy as being SO cute and bubbly and bouncy and I can still see her in her high school cheer -leading uniform. I believe she was also one of our homecoming attendants, in addition to cheerleading. I do not see a cause of death. Sometimes, that can mean something more negative and sometimes not.
