Creig Gillis, Tom Foolery
My condolonces to the boys, and siblings. I caught up with Gretchen several years back as I drove home from a Christmas in Bend. We'd kept in touch since then, occassionally she'd call and catch up with me, and ironically I'd been thinking lately I hadn't heard from her in a while and should give her a call. I'll remember fondly a young Gretchen who was in my youth group at the little Presbyterian church near Highland View. Talking over the Corvallis years I mentioned once that she was on the inside circle, and she laughed loud and said, "oh God no, I wasn't part of that!" which gave us both a good laugh. So, that raspy truck stop waitress voice from all those cigarettes she wouldn't quit is silent, and I for one will miss her. Farewell Gretchen.
