Hi,
For my part, I have good feelings toward Stevie. My father died when I was 16.
Stevie took the time to send me a telegram along with a box of candy. He and
I walked down the aisle together on graduation day. As he was being talked
about, I leaned over and commented that I bet you didn’t even know you were
that important. He laughed. So, my blood pressure is just fine.
Warmest Regards,
Fred

You might be interested to know that Randy donated his MSB yearbook for the
year that Stevie Wonder and some of you graduated to the APH museum. It became
part of the display that included Stevie's old piano from school. And I realize
that including the rest of you and Stevie in the same sentence probably raised
blood pressure 20 points, but folks do love celebrities...

We had moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina at the end of May, 2014. He was
looking forward to spring here. It was a massive stroke, very sudden, and a
complete surprise, since he had checked out okay at the doctor in December... I
was planning on coming back to the area in the Fall for nostalgic reasons. Now
I hope to sprinkle some of his ashes on the old MSB campus, possibly in the
company of some of his friends, and then go out for a feed after, since it's
what Randy would suggest. I'll let you know closer to the time when.

Thanks.

Well, we lost another alumni.
Randy Formenti, class of 1970.
I got a call tonight from Inge, his ex-wife. He had a major stroke last night
and passed away.
She is going to join the list so hopefully people can share some memories.
No funeral arrangements. She is hoping to come up to Lansing in the Fall and
possibly get together with some of us for lunch and scatter some of his ashes
at MSB.
He is survived by his mother, Irene, his sister Jill both of Phoenix, his
brother Dave who I think is in California.
Steve
Class of 72
