In Memory

Priscilla Wells (-)

Sadly, I received the following email from Barb Kenyon Engel: "Pris Wells died in Anderson South Carolina January 4.  We kept in touch always.  She had been a nurse and medical administrator with a long career in CT.  Two divorces, no children.  She lived near her sister Lisa.  I will miss her."    At this point I have not found an obiturary and have no other information that Barb could provide me.  I don't believe Pris graduated with us as the last yearbook picture I could find was '66.

Since I've been doing a bit of "death cleaning" I ran across old letters I kept and found one from Pris that she wrote after we left high school.  It had to be around 1974 when we were visiting Connecticut with two little one's in tow that we stopped to visit Pris and her husband, Jeff. By that time she must have been a nurse as her letter was written on "Nurses Record" paper. My recollection is that they were living in the family home on Old Norwalk Road and in her letter she mentioned the steep drive and having to leave the car stranded halfway up after a snowstorm. 
 
It was in our senior year that we probably spent more time together and I can't help but remember her stopping in at the local A&P where I was working to tell me there was going to be a party at Diane Smith's house.  "Boys" from Norwalk would be there.  I went.  Met Bill Miller and the rest of that crowd.  It was the summer of the Newport Folk Festival and Woodstock.  I hope she went with us, but clearly my memory is clouded.  But the die was cast and I guess you could say that if Pris had not told me of that party, my life might have been quite different.

I remember Pris so well - and her house on Old Norwalk and her mom..I think she and Coby and I went to Shea Stadium (or maybe Forest Hills- this mind wanders) for the first Beatles concert. And for some reason, I also remember that she and Coby had identical white, shaggy jackets ( no better looking then than they sound now, but who am I to judge fashion choices?). And Bets, I, too, remember Bill Miller, as I think we have discussed! I have nothing but great memories of Pris and I am sorry to hear the news.
