I am sad to learn of Kathy Sperling's passing. (I knew her under that name). She was a warm, open, friendly person in high school, always ready to laugh and to exhibit a healthy sense of irony. I knew her mainly through her friendship with the late, great, Judy Magidson, one of my dearest friends since childhood until her excruciatingly untimely death. I hope Kathy had a fulfilling life and that she died happy. The world is a lesser place without her.

Kathi moved in next door to me, after another classmate, Jane Russell moved away.
When we graduated from eighth grade at Cumberland school, she wrote this in the class of June 1958 photo album.
Well neighbor we made it. Through all the loud records, the dryer & etc, I didn't have too bad a time living next door to you. In fact it was pretty much fun. I don't think I ever forget those science classes. Without you & Patrie & the "Old Goat" it sure would have been dull.
I wish you all the possible luck in Bay. You sure have the ability to be a good athlete. Just don't practice hurrduling over our fenses, just kidding.
See you this summer.
Kathi
Another person signed that album, and it was one of our teachers.
May you have excellent high school days.

Kathy and I were very good friends during high school. She had a wonderful sense of humor and great enthusiasm for life. She was very creative and loved crafts like her mother. We spent countless hours at each other's homes during those years. Over the years, we lost touch but reconnected in the last few years of her life. Kathy faced many challenges in the last few years. She will be missed.
