So what did happen to Mrs. X, anyway? Inquiring minds want to know!

Well it was just past the first six weeks of the 1972-73 school year, I was in the 4th grade and we came to school one morning and the principals secretary was there instead of the teacher, who was in a conference with the principal and when she returned she was mad as hell. She told us that Ms. X, next door, was gone and her class was being divided up and we were getting some of her students, I think it made 40 in our class. We then had 5 Jimmys, 4 Timmys and 2 Mikes. She said she could not tell us what happened and not to ask her.
Well we all wondered, as did our parents but I never heard what happened and never forgot. I recently ran into a woman who has the same last name, a very unusual one for this area, and asked her if she was Ms. X and she said earnestly she was not.
Well, later on at the same location I encountered one of the forth grade teachers who had to take up the slack and he refused to discuss it, never seen someone try to change the subject so fast.
The principal told me Saturday he could not really remember much about it, but that "it was nothing bad". He did however mention the ladies first name. It was the woman I met in recent years. So now I am thinking I should go an apologize to her for sticking my nose in her business and that I am glad to know she is alright.

I know, I will always wonder.
Well, I got the email today I had been expecting. My dear friends in Hawai'i have lost their daughter, Maya Olivia Dillon. She was removed from the respirator yesterday and her family took her outside to sit under a tree for the second time in her life. She slipped away quietly. I realize now that this is the first time in a long time I have had tears run down my face that have nothing to do with Jack and Ennis. (But they sure make the plumbing work good.)
I am so sad I never got to meet her. I hope she will come and visit me in my dreams.
R.I.P.

Oh ... I'm so sorry Truman ... so sorry.
How wonderful that they just took her outside to enjoy a few minutes together.
That's really the best thing we have isn't it.
Hugs to you Truman and your friends and their beautiful baby.
