"I went to High School with Nancy and we graduated in 1973. She is the reason I took chemistry and Harvard Project Physics. She is also the reason I passed them both! She was always a lot of fun in high school. I totally lost track of her. I live in Appleton, WI. I offer your family my sympathies and hope the comfort and the memories with assist you in your grief. Lois Hilger (Wolslegel) "
