My sympathy to the family. In 10th grade 1964/65 I sat across from beautiful Linda in Spanish class at MTHS, I worked PT at Sam’s Cafe & Emmett would come in for coffee as did all the others like Red Bottino and Hoot Harriman, and Emmett always had a funny story to share with Sam Bilderback. Those were the days!
