I just
pulled up Tech's website for the first time, and I was very pleasantly
surprised! I am a 1943 graduate and was pleased to recognize some names
from the 40's. My name at that time was Priscilla P. Elliott, but I have
just been married (for the 3rd time, due to deaths of the first two) on
January 31st to a wonderful man by the name of John A. McDougall. I would
really like to be in touch with any friends from those years. I was married
for 43 years to Harvey O. Boner, a building contractor, in Greenwood, IN,
and we had two sons, Alan Harvey and Rex Randall. I've been living in the
Atlanta area since 1989, worked for Eastern Airlines, and am now retired.

"Upon
graduating from Tech in 1943, went to work as secretary with several
businesses in Indy. Through his sister, I met and married Elmer Nicholson
in March of 1947, so you can see that in a few months, we will celebrate
our 56th wedding anniversary. I have one daughter, Cathy Lee, who resides
near Silver City, New Mexico. We have four grandsons:
Doug, age 30, Darrin, 26, Brad, 23 and Grant, 17, a senior in High
School. I have enjoyed immensely the Tech web site and have "met" many
wonderful friends through it and the Instant Message feature of my
Internet Server."
