Marta was a dear friend who I unfortunately lost contact with after high school. She was a caring, sincere and fun person. Marta always had a smile for everyone and kind words about everyone in her life. I have Marta and her family to thank for introducing me to snow skiing and water skiing. They had a summer home at Williams Bay, Wisconsin where we spent many wonderful times together on the water and snow. When I found out that Marta had died, sometime between our 10th and 20th year reunions, I tried to contact her brother Hans Hognestad. I read in the Dartmouth publication (Hans had attended Dartmouth) that Hans had died. That was approximately 3 years ago that I read about Hans who had graduated from NTW in 1969. I know that Marta is smiling down on us now.
