I too was very good friends even though we were 2 years apart me being the younger one. She treated me as a baby sister! Ha! We had such fun cruising Arlington. As my sister Tanis posted we went to Padre Island on vacations. She was the one who attracted the boys for all of us. I listened to The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" for the first time when we hung out in her bedroom. She was cutting edge. I did love her for everything I learned from her. I `ditto´ everything Tanis wrote. RIP Pam Belcher and RIP Tanis.

Hi Terry, I was very sad to see that Pam had passed away. I looked at the picture that Vickie posted of her but to me she will always like a fashion plate with long dark hair and the best wardrobe ever. I was with Pam when she found out that her mother had died and my family went with me to the funeral. Joyce was such a sophisticated woman and always very kind to me. Bob was also special. He, too, was very kind and funny. I remember them both so well. Wow, it has been over 40 years but I remember everything so clearly from those days. I, too, lost track of Pam and tried so many times to locate her. I hope she had good memories of our times together in Arlington, Padre Island, in Germany and in London. I have pictures of her in Germany with her hair in a Mary Tyler Moore kind of look with a big flip on each side. I just can't believe she is gone. I was also sure that I would locate her some day. If you want to contact me, please feel free to do so. My sympathies.

Terry, I am so sorry and very sad to to hear about the loss of your sister Pam. I met Pam in 1967 through my cousin Ernie Rudy. I'm the one that traveled to London with Pam in 1969. We had a lot of great times together. Unfortunately I lost contact with her shortly after we came back home in July 1970.

I will miss you and Dazy will too. Dazy looked forward to seeing you. When we pull up to the home you were at she would get so excited. And she would lay next to you and lick your hand and you would just grin, you always made her happy. You also did so much for me and I appreciated your friendship. You will be very missed. See you on the other side. Love ya Debby V.
