Wendi McClintic, who graduated Miami High School with me in 1992, died over the weekend.  She committed suicide.  Only two members of our class have died (that I'm aware of) and both by suicide.  This disturbs me, especiall since Wendi and Heath were both, as teenagers, such joyful people.

Wendi laughed and giggled all the time, but what I remember her most fondly for was her sneeze.  Wendi had the most delightful sneeze I've ever heard.  Whenever she sneezed in class, the entire room would immediately laugh.  There would always be this massive build-up to the sneeze, the inhalation of vast amounts of air.  You prepared yourself for a violently loud exhalation.  But what came was an incredibly high-pitched and gentle "tchew."
