Dear Pelicans,

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and all of your loved ones.

Please note: The obituary for Clothilde Mounger Quirk was posted today.

The information regarding Mrs. Quirk’s obituary was provided by Carol Armand Pellegrin.  Carol wrote, “ I knew her. She is Glen and Boyd's MOM. We all went to school together. She is 83. She and my Mom went to school together.”

On Thursday, February 5th, Stebo Pearce and I met at one of my Evergreen Offices (Ervin Gauthier’s Repair Shop) to review class pictures and add Pearce Families to the Family Connections page of the website.  Stebo’s mind is as sharp as a tack and it was so interesting to visit with him and discuss the personalities and events of several decades of life in Evergreen. Thank you, Stebo, for your time and information.  I hope we may continue our visits as we seek to document information about Evergreen.
