Notes:

Linette's 4-13-07 Entry: I hadn't lived in IN since 1979, but moved back in March of 2005, to be near family and friends. Best move ever ! ! Anxious to see classmates at the Old Settlers this year. Was living in Florida, lost my twin sister in October of 2002 so Florida just wasn't the same for me.
About my name as listed; Both my twin and myself always went by our middle names Linette and Jeanette, I had always spelled it with two n's, then after graduating and moving from home, saw my birth certificate--it is spelled Linette, one "n". So my diploma, SScard,etc. were wrong!
