In Memory Of ROBERT BRUCE ANDERSON LYNN EARLENE PAIGE March 18, 1954 - September 22, 1969 March 23 1954 - January 17, 1970 We, of the 1970 Sophomore Class, remember Lynn and Bruce as one of us. They laughed with us, cried with us, enjoyed life with us. Most knew Bruce as a happy person, always smiling, whose dress was always neat. He was interested in his school, and participated in FMHS activities. Just living in Ft. Meade a few months, not very many people knew Lynn. Those of us who knew her, remember Lynn as a very intelligent girl. She was quiet and care-free. She was interested in our school newspaper and worked very hard on it. 143 In death, they went one step further ... this time to an experience we cannot fully share with them. Their death brought one more sorrow into the lives of those who knew them. Our love and respect will be with them always. The City of Fort Meade wishes to congratulate the Sen- iors of 1970 and hopes that their futures will be bright.
