In Memoriam
Dennis Klinger, former school parent, died recently in Greenville, North Carolina. Dennis and his wife Pamela were strong supporters of GFS in the early years when the school was getting off the ground. Their two children -- Brad Klinger (Atlanta, GA) and Jeff Klinger (Boone, NC) -- attended GFS until the family moved to Greenville 17 years ago.
Dennis was a native of Columbia County and an avid outdoorsman and accomplished craftsman.
A memorial service was held at the Millville Friends Meetinghouse on November 12, 2000.
