Nanette was a very interesting person. As I recall, we were in Mr. Tuttle's US History class junior year. Paula Moore was in that class also. Nanette often spoke of spending weekends with her grandmother someplace North. She started with the class of '75, but finished high school in three years and didn't have a senior photo in our yearbook. The photo is from the 1973 yearbook on the Student Council page.
After we graduated we exchanged cards and letters while I was at the Coast Guard Academy. In one of the cards she sent, she copied quotes from a book I later found out was, To See a World in a Grain of Sand (Compiled by Caesar Johnson.) One of the quotes was from an author named Storm Jameson, "Happiness?It's an illusion to think that more comfort means more happiness. Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed."
While I was home on leave the summer of 1977, at the urging of my mother, I called Nanette and we went out on a date. It was a very odd date. I was driving my 1977 Olds 442 and when we got to the end of Beach Blvd. at Pacific Coast Highway we were next to a green 1977 442. The lady driving the car rolled down her window and asked if we wanted to follow her to a club called "Tiffany's" in Newport Beach. This sounded more interesting than what we had planned, so we agreed. After we were at the club for a bit, I noticed there were people using hard drugs so we excused ourselves and left. I think we went to an ice cream parlor and then I took her back to her home. That was the last time I saw Nanette, although we continued to correspond. I was very saddened to hear of her passing while looking for classmates for our reunions.
Nanette and I met in summer school before freshman year and were very close for a while. I know that Boni Bishop was back in touch with her before she died.

I never knew Nanette personally,
It's always sad to read we have lost another Baron classmate.
May her friend and family take comfort for the time they were given to share in her life.
