Hello Sherry –

 I am writing in regards to my mother, Nedra Erskine.  She taught English at Chase High School for several years. I think she retired in 1984.  She lived in Chase and eventually moved to Arizona. The Kats newsletter has been mailed to our address which is correct. Due to a health issue, she now lives in an Assisted Living and her memory is not up to par. Anyway, I just wanted to let someone know she will turn 100 on April 11th. She was going strong until one year ago and started going downhill.  My sister lives in south Hutchinson as does my husband mother.  I graduated from Sterling High in 1966, oh gosh getting old.  Thanks and take care.
