We thank Carolyn Quinn '79 for stepping up to edit this one edition of the newsletter for us! Thank you, Carolyn! Great job!We would like to pause and thank all SPFHS graduates, and the wider community, for their many types of service. So many have gone above and beyond to make life better for us. As the saying goes, 'all gave some, some gave all'. Thank you. We honor your faithful contributions.Would YOU, or someone you know, like to be our next newsletter editor? Carolyn Quinn has said she is unable to continue as editor. We are seeking a permanent editor to edit all future editions for us. Many SPFHS graduates, from all class years, from the late 1930's and the 40's, all the way up to today's graduates, look forward to the newsletter, and value their connection to this great place, SPFHS. The only way we can have a newsletter going forward into the future is if an SPFHS alumni volunteers to take on this much-appreciated volunteer position. A chance to use your creativity. So many alumni will be most thankful to you. Interested? Would you like more info? Please email spfhsalumni@aol.com and we will put you in touch with Marie Leppert '44, a former newsletter editor for a long period of time.
