Sad news for the Class of 1986

[Colin Law]

With terrible regret I want to inform all of you that Jennifer Bowman  
('86) passed away on Oct 1st.  As most of you know she had been  
trying to recover from brain cancer and a surgery that left her with  
severe nerve damage.  As she said in her reunion page "I will keep  
fighting until my body gives out....".  Clearly she bravely did just  
that.  I hope many of you got to speak with her at our reunion  
weekend a few weeks ago.  She was one of the very first people to  
give to our Class GIft and to submit a reunion page, so I know her  
time at NCSSM meant a lot to her.

Jennifer will be dearly missed.

Colin
