Re: Sad news: Sally Blomquist

Sally Blomquist was one of the great "Norwood Mothers" in the corps Mothers Club of the 1960s.

They did everything.. helped raise money, ran social events, volunteered as chaperones, did uniform work .. gosh, you name it and they were there.

Sally was always "right there" to help. And, she was a great friend .. she was a good friend with my mother Phyllis Borck.
