Pam died suddenly the summer of 64. She was a sweet lovely girl. Not long ago visited her grave at Knollwood. Her tombstone has a poem she wrote inscribed on it and her distinctive signature engraved as well.

Pam sat next to me at graduation.  She was the sweetest girl I could ever imagine.  You are truly missed Pam!

As many know, Pam died the summer after we graduated. Some of us were her pallbearers just before we left for college.

Over the years I have visited her grave at Knollwood which is also close to the grave of Buddy Greiner who died in 1987. Pam's tombstone is inscribed with a poem she wrote and her signature. The poem is below.

For the mighty form has blown its course

Its furious gale has pounded and worn the rocks, And thee -

And Gone oh child, my child.

You are born of the form and the sea

So are we all. But you won

And behold you are a child no more.

For when tomorrow becomes yesterday and on to yesteryear

That which has lived lives but once

Then dies and sinks to memory

and what is done cannot be undone.

I didn't know Pamela all that well.  But, the old memories of her and Shaker, and John Berkobein and  Buddy Greiner and Rick Cooper and all the other classmates we have lost over the lasat 5 decades,  are very precious to me  and I miss being with them. 

The summer after we graduated, I worked that summer at Brown-Forward and I was part of the funeral party.  I'll never forget the crazy mixed emotions I have,  to remember those times.
