I remember Pam first from Longfellow.. She was the first person I knew to wear Black nail polish.. We were in Mrs. Reed's english class.I also played volleyball with Pam and was in the Orchestra also. She was very talented in both.
When I used to visit UW Madison in 81-82 to see my future husband in college via bus I would meet up with Pam and ride the rest of the way.
Pam always smiled :D and I miss her!
