I saw Josie at our 50th Class-of-1956 Reunion on September 23, 2006. She looked wonderful and was, as always, her warm, kind lovely self. Hearing of her death was a shock. Josie was going to bring her grand children out to the ranch here in Inyokern to see my Arabian horses.

I did not know that Josie was living in Ridgecrest. How sad that we lose track of great people we knew through our school years in Trona.
