    Lindy was a woman with a beautiful smile and she enjoyed life. I met her at Peter Hobart Elementary school in St. Louis Park, MN. I was a frequent sub-teacher for her son, Billy, when he was in kindergarten. One day he brought
    a picture of his grandma for show and tell and I recognized Mrs. Krawchuk by her house on the corner lot in Lancaster. I couldn’t wait for Lindy to come to school so I could find out who this child was.
    I grew up in the Lancaster area and graduated from Lancaster High School. My sympathy to John.
