Is there any way I could locate an alumna (or she was a student at Ripon) from the 50's? SHe was such a good person and I have thought of her all these 50+ years. I found an old highschool paper that said she married a Dennis George Punches in 1955. Or perhaps you could forward this e-mail to the appropriate alumni office? Thank you very much. Carolee Rosenberg
