Lucinda Rieck - Class Of 1965

LUCINDA RIECK, 1947 ~ 1968

Date of Birth:: February 20, 1947. 
Date of Death: February 07, 1968

From the Long Beach Independent dated 2/8/68:
....A pretty airline stewardess was killed and three other persons injured in a shattering four-car pileup Wednesday, February 7 in Huntington Beach. Lucinda Rieck, 20, of 505 W. Whiting Ave., Fullerton, was dead on arrival at Huntington Intercommunity Hospital following the 2:20 p.m. accident.

This just received from Patti (Thayer) Baker, FUHS 1965;
I read the inquiries about Lucinda Rieck. Cindy died 2/7/68. She was hit by a drunk driver in her new VW Bug and died instantly. Very sad... but glad she didn't suffer. We both were in the class of 1965.

I have thought of Cindy many times over the years. I remember she was such a close friend with Sue Varnum (my neighbor). I just found this article from Thurs 2/8/68 on newspapers.com about the accident. You are missed, Cindy.
