Bonnie J. Brentz
I was very saddened to hear of Johns death. He and I went to Peach Plains Elementary School. There were only 27 kids in that class at the beginning. 6 girls and 21 boys. When we were in 1st grade, one of my friends handed me a note on manilla paper with light turquoise lines on it. John had written,: Dear Bonnie, I like you. Do you like me? I wrote back and so did he until our messenger became his new love. My first boyfriend at 6 years old! I still have the notes. I'll always remember him. I never got to see him after high school. But it sounds like he had a productive life. My deepest condolences! Bonnie Brentz (Bethke)
