Diane Jean Baxter Alvarez ’64 -- known to all as Heidi -- passed away at her home in Medford, Oregon on September 28, 2023.  She  was retired from Hitachi Computer Products, located in San Jose, California.  Heidi married her first husband Don MacFarlane ’62 in San Diego in 1966.  With her second husband, and kindred spirit, David Alvarez she shared 39 years of happiness and life adventures.  She is survived by her sister Ann Baxter ’63.  I miss her dearly -- Susan Robertson Strom ’65 (Heidi’s first cousin)
