I was saddened to read about Beckys passing. I have not seen her since 1969, but remember her laugh and wonderful smile. We both pledged Alpha Gamma Delta at KU the fall of 1966. Many great memories of that time. After graduating in 1969, my husband and I moved to Fargo, ND for 10 years and I lost contact with Becky. Please know that I have fond memories of her and did let others from that time know. Nancy Winkler Fortier.
