Bill Burnett March 13, 1949 - May 8, 2008

Dear Classmates,

I indirectly got some sad news just today. Bill Burnett passed away less than two weeks ago. It was sudden and a total surprise to his family.

A fellow classmate called me this morning and reported having heard that Bill passed away, but it had not been verified. Some of you know that Bill and I dated in high school, through college and married in 1971. The marriage ended in divorce before our tenth high school reunion.

I've tried to post the link to his obituary here. If it doesn't work, we'll get it posted to the website soon. It is a lovely tribute. I spoke to Bill's brother's wife - actually widow since Steve passed away nine years ago - and she shared with me how caring Bill was with the family Steve left behind. Bill never wanted a funeral; the family will gather in memory of Bill at his home in Santa Fe later in the summer.

The last time I saw Bill was maybe ten years ago at his father's memorial service in Saratoga Springs at the new veteran's cemetary. He seemed happy with his new wife, the way his career had grown and was building a retirement home in Santa Fe. It is sad that too often funerals are the only time we see old friends and family. I'm very happy to have reconnected with many of you following our 40th. Let's keep in touch, Joyce
