Her death at age 82 makes me feel even older than I am, five years her junior, since she has always been around somewhere during my time.  She is probably the most illustrious graduate of my high school, La Jolla High, in San Diego.  The same school that brought Michigan Curt Stephenson, the subject of an MGoBlog posting last month when someone broke his Rose Bowl record for longest touchdown reception (got to bring this back to Michigan sports!).  When I arrived in La Jolla, she was still someone remembered by classmates since she was popular and made a name for herself in student government, drama, and a local beauty contest.

RIP fellow LJ Viking, Raquel....
