OMG! Carol, I don't believe I ever knew
Dr.
Forbes, but I sure have an indelible memory of being in her Mom's
seventh grade class at Walter Reed
School! I can still see the old wooden desks, and Mrs. Forbes not
letting us leave
for our next class until she'd silently peered down each row and held up a
finger indicating our row number
had passed muster on tidiness.
Nevertheless, I was still saddened to read of Dr. Forbes' tragic passing in
the auto crash. She was undoubtedly
a great loss to the community and will be greatly missed by her family and
those who knew her.

Thank you
so much, Carla! My memories of Mrs. Forbes from that year are warm and
wonderful. I especially recall the pride
she felt in her daughter's accomplishments. Her face would simply shine when
she mentioned her name - as well it should have! |
