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!
