I was saddened by the loss of Penny Walters Swenson. We go back to Santa Clara high school and the University of Southern California. Penny's intellectual range was enormous. Her hair was red. She was the editor of the Hi Times, the high school newspaper. I remember one visit to your family home when I met her father the California Highway Patrol officer. He was drinking iced tea. During one semester in high school penny received all A's. Her scholarship at USC was in journalism. We were in a small values seminar in our senior year at USC with a stellar professor, J Westley Robb. After USC we lost each other for decades. However in the last five years we have reconnected on Facebook and two visits in Tehachapi. she was enormously proud of her children and grandchildren. We discovered I have friends on Lummi Island where her mother lives. I've never met Walter, her husband, or any of her children and I stay saddened by your loss. By the way, did I mention Penny's hair was red.
