A number of ideas on what form our memorial gift (a memorial to our deceased classmates) should take have emerged in email exchanges:
Here are some for your consideration: Bruce Hugill: I could donate a cow patty from Oklahoma. Seriously, I would be happy to contribute monetarily if that is what we need.
Barbara Wells-Preston: (To Mardi Kline Zeiger, who's heading to Israel for a visit): I think that it would be wonderful for you to bring something back that we could auction and use the funds for a memorial on campus for our deceased members. It could possibly be a bench in that new center where they have the facsimile of a ship. The bench could be concrete and have the names etched in it or it could be marble with the names etched in it. We could take a day and some of us go out to the school and look at the place and see where a memorial might be suitable and not likely to be bulldozed in the near future. Perhaps some of the other classmates might have things of real value or services that they would like to donate for a silent auction. All these funds could be used for the memorial.
Sue Bagg-Foreman: She and husband Steve are headed to Antarctica in February..she has offered to bring back an icy piece of glacier or something similar. The water resulting from its meltdown (unless they pack it in "ice") could be auctioned.
