Item #3  Jack Cox
From: Pam Quinn Pam_Quinn@JEMM.COM
Hi All.
When I was at Leader Dogs in 1992, there was a guy there from Appleville,
Pennsylvania named Jack Cox.  He worked as a dispatch at a police station.
 We kept in touch for a few years, and I gradually lost track of him.  The
last I knew, his wife had had a stroke, and I've been wondering about
them.  Is there anyone out there from the Pennsylvania area who can fill
me in on what's going on with them?  Thanks much.
Pam

Item #4  Judy Redfield And Linda Marquis-Gagnon
From: Peter Donahue pdonahue@texas.net
        Both Judy and I were students at the Oak Hill School for the Blind
in hartford Connecticut from 1969 until 1973.  We lost track of each other
but got back in touch in the fall of 1978.  We dated for about 9 months
during 1979, but the relationship fizzled out and we lot touch again. the
last time I had any communication with her and her mother was in the early
1980s, but we failed to keep track of each other.  Judy and her mother lived
in Essex Connecticut where Judy worked as a medical transcriber at the
Middlesex County Hospital in Middletown Connecticut.  I have recently tried
to get back in touch with Judy, but these attempts have proved fruitless.
Apparrently they have moved from Essex, and may be living in North Carolina
as her mother's family was from there.  I don't know if either of them are
on the Internet, but would appreciate any help in getting back in touch with
them.

Linda Marquis-Gagnon:
        Linda was a childhood friend of another school friend of mine from
Oak Hill.  she attended Perkins from 1962 until 1974.  She is orriginally
from Frenchville Maine, a small town in Arroostook County on the Canadian
Border.  During our time in school we had an annual event called the Music
Festival in which a number of the schools for the blind in the northeastern
United States gathered at one of these schools for a weekend of music.  the
event culminated in an all choral concert given on the Saturday evening of
the event.  While I came to know of linda first in 1971 we finally met
during what was to be my first and only music festival as they were
discontinued after 1972  due to declining talllent among the student bodies
of the participating schools and the lack of funding for this event.  We had
a wonderful weekend together and we both hated to see it end.  In the fall
of 1973 I was transfered to Perkins where Linda was still a student.  Linda
left Perkins in 1974 and returned home to Maine.  We communicated briefly in
1978.  to day I have had no direct communication with her.  

        Since leaving School like Judy, Linda too became a medical
transcriptionist and worked in the Bangor Area for a while. Her maden name
was Marquis, (Pronounced Markee.)  She married a David Gagnon in 1981 and
they had two children.  Sadly, sne lost David to a heart attack in 1988.  It
is my understanding that she moved back home with her folks who helped her
raise the kids.  Some friends of mine have tried to track her down, but were
unsuccessfull in doing so.  the search goes on.

This is especially to those from Oregon.  Does anyone know Sharon
Boyle?  I met her several years ago and would like to get in

organization as I checked it out to the best of my ability.  So
if anyone can help me, please do so.  You can e-mail me private

Item #6  Judy August

living in California, but moved when she came home from the Seeing Eye.
They were latter in Memphis Tennessee.  Her name was Judy
