I'm sorry to have to report that our classmate, Barbara Snell Burum, passed away Wednesday, June 7.  (Obituary and guest book at  http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/houstonchronicle/obituary.aspx?n=barbara-burum&pid=185747715.)  As the obituary announces, "Friends and family will honor Barbara's memory Saturday, June 10th, at 10 am, in the Chapel at Holly Hall Retirement Community, 2000 Holly Hall St, Houston, TX."  (Barbara's husband, John Gates Burum, also Lamar '58, died in 2011.)
     At Lamar, Barbara was on the staff of the Lancer as well as being on the bowling team and participating in Rodeo Club and CSU.  In addition to working for the Texas Department of Agriculture while Johnny was studying engineering at UT and then focusing on raising their four children, Barbara later worked at a bookstore and at the Harris County Psychiatric Center. She was also, the author of the obituary attests, a dominant hearts player.  
   Please send any memories of Barbara (pre- post- or at Lamar) that you would like to share with our Lamar '58 classmates to me (rjhabq@gmail.com) or Louise (louise@lorober.com) for inclusion in the In Memoriam section of the website and in the June or July update.
