In our correspondence concerning our upcoming class reunion/birthday party, we have received updated information concerning addresses and phone numbers. Unfortunately, we have also received some sad information. Someone noted that one of our classmates, Charlene Tramp, for whom we had no information at all, had passed away about five years ago. An internet search found this obituary from the Yankton Daily Press and Dakotan: (http://www.yankton.net/obituaries/article_d35d2cdd-5945-55c8-a6c2-0de39a63a756.html). According to the annuals, Charlene attended BHS for only her junior and senior years. When we gather this summer, perhaps those of you who knew her best can give the rest of us a glimpse as to the type of person she was. Her obituary indicates that she was loved and respected by all who knew her. Our belated condolences go out to her family and her friends.
Today's (Feb. 22, 2016) Brookings Register contained the obituary for Linda Nelson-DeMent, who was born in Brookings on July 18, 1950. There was a Linda Nelson in the class just ahead of us. Does anyone know if this would be the same individual? Her obituary can be found at http://www.brookingsregister.com/v2_news_articles.php?heading=0&story_id=27843&page=80
Linda had a brother named Darrell, who was about the same age as some of my older brothers. He was a tremendous softball pitcher. In some of the old Registers that Bob Adams and I have perused these past few months, his name appeared in the sports pages quite often during the softball season. Darrell also had a couple of sons who were members of some talented basketball teams at BHS in the early 80s. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Nelson family at this difficult time.
