    Ann Mancuso Hertel Sorry to see Maggy listed in the EOCH Alumni newsletter as having deceased. We were classmates for four years of High School and graduates of 1968. I saw her most recently at the 50 th reunion 2018. . I also wondered if Marily Hart was her sister-in-law within the Critchely family of whom I have been seeking from high school for many years. I wish I knew what happened to take Maggy’s l life ? Once again know of my sorrow to her children and grandchildren this Mothers Day.
