In high school, ( Chenango Forks High, Chenango Forks,NY) She was a very close friend of mine. I have been searching for her for years.

I have heard from another friend of ours that she moved to the Orlando,Fl. area, but I need a married name to search any further. Thank You in advance for any help you may provide. Terry Richards
