This coronavirus thing is playing right into my strong suit. I've gotten self-isolating down pat over the years. Actually, I get a regular stream of visitors, the last one a young woman who chose a chair in the next room. I hope the rest of you are getting by in these unusual times.

James Lindholm ’70 passed away March 9, 2020. I have known Jim since elementary school at Carver. He lived close by in the neighborhood growing up. Then, after he bought his parents’ home, I saw him from time to time when I visited my mother or worked on her house as it was rented. I knew him as a dear man of faith, active in his church and of course loved his family -- Barbara Alvarez
Jerry Cullins ’64 died December 5, 2019. He left Crawford at the end of his Junior year in 1963 and joined the U. S. Air Force. After leaving the Air Force he completed law enforcement training and served as a police officer with San Diego Police Department. Some years later he went to work with the Brawley School District where he provided student counseling until retiring to Vista to be near family. He fought a courageous battle with lung cancer, accepted his fate and passed peacefully with his wife by his side -- Ken Daly (He did not have a photo in the annual -- JF)
