dvboth Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 On January 5, 2011, Dr. Julianne "Jules" Abendroth collapsed following a seizure, and died at her North Salem home. "Jules" was known for her love of teaching, her close relationships with family and friends, and her love of the outdoors, especially telemark skiing, hiking, and running with her border collies, Bella and Darcy. Her hobbies included restoration and modification of classic automobiles, with Datsuns her specialty. She was particularly proud of her Hawaii Blue 1977 King Cab pickup, christened "Elvis." The truck guy's should remember her truck, Her truck won an award at the last Canby show! We will miss her greatly!
