From Scott Inglis:
Mary Inglis was the class of 1970. Mary was a very good student and a leader both at school (I think she was a junior class representative) and among her friends. Mary did service projects, like the time she and some friends (I can't remember if it was a student organization) planted the pine trees on the front South side of the school (they are huge now!). Mary did have a mischievous side, like the night she and some friends filled the drains in the courtyard with cement and then turned on the water. They created a small flood for school the next day. Mary passed away at her home in Austin on July 25, 2008. Mary is sorely missed by her family, dear friends from Westchester, Southwest Texas State U. (now Texas State) and many work associates.

For pictures of Mary you can go to: http://johninglis.shutterfly.com/ The picture of one of Westchester great malls is of particular interest since it was the morning in 69/70 after Mary and a bunch of friends cemented up drains and filled the lower mall area with water. Only some water is left in the picture because the workers were quick to undo the pool by the time school started! The picture of Mary and the Obama sign was taken at Obama's Feb. 07 appearance in Austin, one of his first on the presidential run. Here is an address for the Legacy page for Mary if you would like to read comments or add one, http://www.legacy.com/gb2/default.aspx?bookid=3625067082128 Supposedly it will remain up until the end of time.
