I am so sorry to read of the passing of Lynn. I never knew him personally, but talked to him and wrote to him for many years as we put names and information into the Montpelier School data base. I enjoyed talking to him; he often called me on my birthday. I will miss the information we have shared over the years on finding obituaries for former students at the school.
