Many CHHS alumni are mourning the loss of teacher Alycia Allen. Alycia passed away suddenly from complications of diabetes at the age of 56 on December 18, 2007. Ms Allen taught in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools from 1975-1998, where she shared her love of dance, ceramics, art, cheerleading and theatre with sutdents. Her tribute website is located at www.alyciaallen.org.
Pat Dalton, Fall 1979 to Spring 1986 tells us, "Teaching education courses at NC State and in private practice doing academic coaching. The 2002 reunion was amazing!" email: rspd@earthlink.net
Jane S. Gabin tells us, "Hello, kids! I was one of your English teachers in 83. Am still in education, though in a different form: college counselor at a small independent school in NYC. In between I ran a British imports shop in Carr Mill Mall, worked on Chapel Hill's town bicententennial, and worked for 10 years at the UNC admissions office. My daughter was born two days after your CHHS graduation, and she's now applying to grad school. Scary! My son is 20 and is an organic farmer. I live in NYC most of the time, but come home to Chapel Hill a lot, so please invite me to your 25th reunion!"

Another sad loss to report from the faculty, as teacher AK Smith passed away recently. His son Keith (88) sent us this info on his passing:
AK Smith taught at CHHS for 40 years, AP Physics, AP Chem, Astronomy, Photography and the last year he was actually the acting principal. AK passed away on Wed April 3rd - he had been fighting Leukemia for many years. We will be having a memorial service at Walker Funeral Home on Sunday April 13th, 2:00pm.
He worked extensively with the College Board assisting colleagues nationally to establish their own Advanced Placement curriculums, and received the First Siemens Award for Advanced Placement National Scholar Award in 2000. Throughout his career AK challenged young minds because the students challenged him.
Ken Stewart tells us he is now back teaching Spanish at CHHS. You can email him at senor@compuserve.com
Tony Yount (85-01) tells us he is, "Retired - no more yearbooks. Living in Montana (surrounded by Republicans) and skiing every day there's good snow." TonyYount@alumni.unc.edu. Update - he's back in town!
