As a follow up…who wrote it and where was it published? My rather muddled mind says in the front of a yearbook by Steve Johnson??
Sarah .. HMMMM? I don’t think Steve was there when this was written. I could be wrong tho … will have to look that up … lol
The follow up questions’ answers: It was probably written by Jeanne Smith, editor-in-chief of the 1960 “gecko” yearbook.
