I was deeply saddened by Donna's passing. Not having seen her for many years after high-school graduation, my wife and I were most delighted to spend time with her at our 40th high-school reunion, sharing stories (and love) of Maine and its many pleasures. Please accept Ann's and my most sincere sympathies. John Milliman
