Sharing of photos and memories

If you have photos to share, use this form to upload photos.

We wish to invite all who wish to to Share a Memory about Kelly during the Sharing of Memories. If and only if you plan to Share a Memory about Kelly during the Sharing of Memories, whether in person or virtually, please record your name here. Recording your name (or not) is not a commitment: a rough idea of who and how many is simply helpful to us in organizing right now.

Logistical coordination

Megan (River) Cutrofello YP'08 has graciously volunteered to create and manage a couple of resources for folks to coordinate travel logistics, including:

• a Discord server

• a spreadsheet for coordinating ride sharing, roommates, etc.
