Marion Foster (Dimond)
Widow of our classmate Bob Madson, who died in Vietnam in 1968. When I met Zona at several '60s parties, she was grateful we honor Bob on our class website. Their daughter was born soon before he died, so she didn't remember him. (We got a message on Facebook from a friend who said Bob did get to see her.)
