Just a fine looking gal. She was somewhat unapproachable due to her relationship with Ronnie Damico. I was impressed with her 46 marriage and expanded family noted in the obit. Appears she was part of a genuine family situation.

I will always remember Meredith as the wonderful and cheery dark-haired girl who sat in front of me in Miss Schroer’s senior English class. I could completely hide my face behind her long black hair and whisper silly little jokes that would make her laugh. Miss Schroer, of course, would immediately notice the disruption and scowl in Meredith’s direction. I believe that Melcher, who sat to my right, and who was also in Schroer’s line of sight, probably caught some grief also. So I apologize, Meredith, for any issues that I might have caused between you and Miss Schroer.

Meredith was a good person and so caring. We did a lot of things together - French Club, Revels, Finian's Rainbow. How sad it is that she died so young, but how like her to be helping those from the Hyatt Hotel disaster.

What a wonderful person Lynn was. I remember her from grade school at Hale Cook. I always remember a ready smile and kind hello. After 1961 I ran into Lynn several times. Once at the Zoo where she worked, and another time when I was delivering phone books, and her house was on my route. I met her young daughter Tracey and had a pleasent chat. In her case the lyrics to the sone that only the good die young proves true. We should be sad when someone dies, but we should be happy that we had the chance to meet them and share some time with themLaurence S Clootz (Clutz)

I knew Larry all through high school and at Sunday School as well. He got along with everyone and tolerated the jokes about his last name. He was a good person, and everyone got along with him. How sad it is that he died so young.

Larry, was in my Sunday school class. So we spent not only highschool days together but several hours every weekend. A pleasant, and good looking guy, I am sorry to learn that he didn't have an opportunity for a longer life. 48 is really awfully young.

He was born February 27, 1943, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Ida and Charles S. Dixon. He earned his B.S. and J.D. degrees from Vanderbilt University in 1965 and 1967, respectively. He began a distinguished 30 year career with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1969.

Chuck was very active in community affairs both in Alexandria, Virginia, where he resided for more than 25 years, and in Santa Fe.

In Santa Fe, he was a member of the Board of Directors of Habitat for Humanity for seven years, and served as the Board's Chairman from 2005 to 2008.

Chuck was a very specioal person. Throughout our shared experiences in Southwest\'s musicals, we had mutual respect and appreciated each other. His role as Woody Mahoney in "Finian\'s Rainbow" will always be a part of my memories of a magical senior year. Chuck was someone you knew you could count on; he would say to me "if there\'s anything I can do for you, just let me know."
