Jo Ann and I were best friends in high school. We lost touch for awhile but reconnected at the 50th reunion. I have great memories of our adventures in high school! Driving to Topeka to see a guy she was writing to in the Air Force there when we were supposed to be at a Junior Achievement event in downtown Kansas City! She was a good friend and I'll miss her great smile!
