Kitty Norman Haskins' ('57)
beloved husband, Tommy (Hampton HS
- '58), and the passing of her sister,
JoAnn ('59), the
beloved wife of
Frank Ivey ('59).
Freddy ('61) and 
David ('65) Sage, both NNHS graduates, lost their father, Mr. L. Fred
Sage II. Sandra Canepa
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Sandra. I lived around the corner from the Sages from the time we moved to Newport News in January of 1954 until we moved to the nearby Stuart Gardens Apartments in October of 1960. I have fond memories of seeing them walking about in the neighborhood, always wearing those big, happy smiles.
Our deepest sympathies are extended to the entire Sage family at this time.

| With our Deepest
sympathy, Fred was a special friend of mine. He and his wife Laura witnessed our wedding in Howard Balison's living room in Oct.1972 I have fond memories of the days when he and I were department heads in the shipyard. |
