I remember Jane Oats, Rebekah Stewart, Carol Gent and of course Elaine Foster. They were my lunch buddies. As I remember I was a bit shy in high school

 and felt invisible most of the time.

Marge thought mystery picture #2 (Ann Scott (Kuehl)) was Elaine. They do look a lot alike!

I remember her as being very religious and having a good sense of humour. Always considered her a friend.

If I'm not mistaken we may have also had classes in junior high together as well.

We met Elaine and hubby Wally in July on our way to a family reunion. It was great reacquainting again. We didn't know each other well in HS  but that

didn't seem to make any difference. After a bountiful Chinese buffet , we retired for coffee & more

conversation on their place just outside of Clovis NM. Wally is very handy, managing the guest facilities at nearby Cannon AFB, and has built a beautiful

little fountain in the front lawn.

One special memory that Elaine has is the  rendezvous with Bob Barnard under the stairwell in the Old School, to, ahh… exchange history notes. You had

to watch that quiet little Elaine, yes you did, back then!

Elaine has had some medical problems in the past, but seems to be mending well. They have a beautiful baby granddaughter, Athenia, a little over a year

old, who is the light of their lives!

We may be close to finding Bob Barnard. He’s gonna find out that you had a crush on him when we do!!!

ICQ exchange between Rich and Elaine: <Rich> Did you know ... hmmm Dennis Butler?

<wally &elaine> Yes?

<Rich> :-(

<Rich> Barb said that she saw an obituary for him in the Binghamton paper last year...

<Rich> sorry...

<Rich> still not confirmed... but probably true.

<wally &elaine> I think that may be why I read that first to see if I am in there and if not I know enough to get dressed and get on with the day.

<Rich> hahahahahaha... at our age we read the obituary along with the funny papers!!!

<wally &elaine> hahaha

<wally &elaine> I also check the want adds to she if anyone wants me.

<Rich> hahahahahahhaha... you're a precious commodity, Elaine!!!

I still have nothing definite from the doctor but I have been feeling a little better(either that or I have just learned to live with the pain)(and I am not talking

about my husband either). LOL

May have MS or Lupus. Bones in bad condition. Was told 7 years ago that she had but 2 years to walk. Auto accident in 70s may have contributed. Had

recent surgery on her left hand and slowly getting use of the hand back.

Has had a computer since January. Uses ICQ. Daughter trying to set her up on Excite and Yahoo for voice chat.

Met husband through former brother in law, who were buddies in Germany. Knew each other for 8 years before he popped the question. Been married 31

years.

Elaine tended to be on the quiet side, had a small circle of friends, didn't go to dances much. (Much the same as Rich McLean!)
