Shelley Nettles
Dean was always very kind and friendly to me. Our last names in school both started with "Van," so whenever seating or placement was alphabetical, we were next to each other. I believe he was in driver's education with me too, so we learned to drive at the same time. Sorry to say that after I moved out of the Des Moines area at the age of 20, Dean and I lost contact with each other. I'm sure he is greatly missed by his family. So very sorry for your loss. God bless. Shelley (Vanous) Nettles, Mt Rainier High School class of 1979.
