Ethel Myers, Where Are You?

We're looking for Ethel Myers, aka "Rat," or perhaps now Ethel Krumm, a member of the NCSSM Class of 1985. Later, she joined the US Army, where she met Roy Krumm (while stationed in Germany?) whom she subsequently married. Last known to be residing in Festus, Missouri, in 1992.

As before, when I used this space to find Hunter Middleton, I am not expecting to find her among readers of this blog, of which there are very few. But I am creating this entry as a "Google Trap" whereby Ethel Myers, or someone who knows her current whereabouts, might come across this post while googling her name. Anyone wishing to contribute can add their own remembrance to a blog, or any sort of web page over which you have editorial control. Use her name "Ethel Myers," and link back to this post. (And if you like, you can let me know and I could link back to your page.) This should, over time cause this page to rise in the Google search results.

Here is a wonderful picture of Ethel ("Rat") with Sula Riden (now Kosacky) at graduation, June 9, 1985.

An Open Letter

Dear Ethel,

I always eschewed your ubiquitous appellation, "Rat" in favor of your given name. Since you had embraced the nickname, I am uncertain whether you appreciated my distinction, or merely tolerated it. We did not hang out much, in my recollection, junior year. By the end of senior year, however, you were an indispensable presence at the Dining Room Table, and one of my very favorite people. Recently looking at the old yearbooks, I came across what you wrote to me, and I guess you thought I was OK, too. You were very kind, thank you.

I hope you are well.

Yours sincerely,
Ronald
