The following is what was said by and about Shari for the 20-year class reunion in 1985, just 3 years before she died.

“Shari and husband, Jim, have two children, James Jr. (17) and Sandi (13).  Since moving to Maine in July of 1983, they have owned and operated the Crunchy Snail Bakery.  Shari writes that Boothbay Harbor has a winter population of about 2,800 and a summer population of 58,000.  Son, Jake, has just purchased his first car, a 1947 Plymouth, and will be driving it in the Windjammer parade this summer.  Shari and Jim have been married for 19 years!  If any of us ever get to Maine, Shari invites us all to stop by the bakery.  They open at 4:00 a.m. and have delicious donuts!!”  The bakery referred to above is still a bakery currently under the name ‘Baker’s Way’ and different ownership.
