The July 10, 2025 edition of the Brookings Register had a short article highlighting the upcoming 100th birthday of Grace Linn, mother of Stew in our class. Originally, I thought she might be the only on of our parents still living. However, thanks to a couple of classmates, I stand corrected. The mother of Mark Denton is also still going strong. My apologies to all concerned. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
She has been very active in writing about the history of Brookings and Brookings county. since the early 1990's, he has helped compile the obituaries of numerous residents of the area. Eight years ago, she was honored by the VFW for her more than 25,000 hours of volunteer service.
Congratulations to Grace on for her wonderful life.
