I remember Lily from Jr High; she was so tiny, but had a lot of spirit. I remember seeing her on her bicycle one day, riding like the wind, her hair blowing behind her. I was so impressed, because I was not at all athletic. I never knew where she was all these years. Sadly, now I do. I share her love of wild animals, and I live-trap skunks and relocate them, eleven in all so far, without ever having been sprayed. I think Lily would appreciate that. My sympathies; I bet you have lots of good memories.
