FRANCES ETTER GENTZLER attended Old Garfield from 1945 thru 1951. She married Max Gentzler July 11, 1956 and followed him thru his Air Force Career. They are both currently retired and make their winter home in Arizona. I happened to run into them during several assignments during my Air Force carrier and was glad to see someone from southend and Old Garfield. They had 4 children; Dennis 40; Debra Hangis 38; Darren 30 and Diane who is deceased. Francis hopes to see all her old classmates and friends at the reunion.
