We had a 'bright-kid' relationship that lasted many years as young high school buddies, and continued on as a tenuous but valued part of my life after Lya's move to the east. What sad but wonderful memories surface with this surprising and saddening news. A wonderful successful career for a lovely brilliant lady who is now much missed by me and her other Winnipeg friends. - Posted by: Harold McCort (Good friend from high school days) on: Sep 19, 2014
