Diana and I were friends at Washington School. She was smart and fun, but always reserved, which was a nice trait when surrounded by preteen show-offs. We went different directions in high school, but I always will remember her and her family and their welcoming house on Ashland Avenue. It was nice to read that she had a good life.

Diana and I were BFFs in high school, and were in each others weddings. She married Bill Webb who I went to elementary school (Jefferson) with. I was so happy to reconnect with her at the 50th reunion. I had planned to see her this year, as she lived in NW Chicago, not too far from my daughter. Wish it had been last year instead. I'm so glad that she was able to see her grandson, Liam.

Sue,
Diana (Deck) Webb and I were acquaintances in Mt. Lebanon, and we dated for a while before she married Bill Webb. At this time in our lives, it seems that the only news we hear of classmates is obituaries.
Thanks for the news.
