Sandy lived a block from me on Marshall St. We attended Lowell School from kindergarten on through OHS. We were always going to pajama parties all though 7th & 8th grade, plus teen club at St Paul's Lutheran Church. I remember getting my first bra from her, all circle stitched and pointy...a big time 32A... and walking home wearing it stuffed, thinking how much better I looked but nervous that my family would notice! Sandy loved to eat LeSeur peas, right out of the can! That grossed me out! She had the best red hair & was a great dancer & dresser. Once she rushed into school and we were in the locker room together, taking off our so cool herringbone with velvet collar Chesterfield coats. She had a blouse & slip on but had forgotten her skirt and had to rush home! Georgia Marthers was her best friend and they were inseparable. They were so cool together, like models. In fact I remember they used to be hair models for some beauty school and would come in with the greatest do's. We walked home from school at the end of senior year. I asked her what her plans were and she replied she had gotten a job at the shore for the summer and was so excited...that was all she had planned and said to me "I'm just living for the summer!" Sadly, it turned out to be true as she died in a car accident coming home from her summer at the shore. I will always remember Sandy.
Sandy and I didn't hang around together and I mostly remember her from St. Paul's, at 5th & Nedro, where we were both members. I think she was in my confirmation class. I saw her around Olney High and she was in one of my classes, but I didn't know her well. What I remember well is that I thought she had such gorgeous skin and hair. Only a few months after we graduated from Olney High, I learned that Sandy had been killed in a car accident. What an enormous shock that news was. A few years later, I got the equally terrible news that Wayne Woodland, also a member of St. Paul's, had been killed in Vietnam. I wish I still had my St. Paul's confirmation picture because I know Wayne was in it and I think Sandy was too and we were all of 13. It was a big class. In later years, it always saddened me to see memorials in the church bulletins from Mr. and Mrs. Robert Denton in memory of their daughter, Sandy. Rest in peace. Kathy Wells
