Hockley was known for her brightly colored clothes and high heels, and for her spirited personality and love of life. Students started a Facebook page to get as many people as possible to wear Hockley's signature high heels on Jan. 4, the fist day back to school from winter break.

More than 300 hundred students and former students have said they plan to done high heels or combat boots (one Facebook posting pointed out that Hockley wore boots also as an option for boys), according to the Facebook page, Heels to Remember Hockley

One post reminded students to walk carefully on the school's many stairs."Strut your stuff with caution, ladies. God knows attempting to walk down the stairs in a crowd of people with 4" heels is hell."

Another memorial to Hockley is being . The mural was created Monday but overnight rain largley washed it away. Volunteers plan on being out again on Tuesday, Jan. 3 to repaint the mural.

I have been extremely frustrated in the past in trying to effectively communicate with Frontier. MyRead More developing sense was one of very poor live support. I find it refreshing to see Frontier respond in a timely manner to this very public assertion. One can hope this is also occurring in your phone support, especially after hours...

I have spoken to Mr. Gaulke and assured him we are not cutting speeds in the Woodinville market (orRead More any of our markets). We are working with him to approach his technical issues from scratch and will do all we can to alleviate his concerns about his speeds. His business, and all the business from our customers in the Woodinville market is very valuable to us. While we are disappointed to receive feedback his service is not living up to our standards, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with Mr. Gaulke and keep his valuable business. We welcome inquiries from other customers if there is anything we can do to improve. Please reach out to me at 425.275.8579 and let us know how we can help.

Frontier has spent the past three years expanding broadband to hundreds of thousands of homes acrossRead More the US and increasing speeds in many of our markets. Mr. Gaulke’s experience and recount of his conversation with one of our reps comes as a surprise to us. We are checking our records to find out what the possible miscommunication could have been. In the meantime, let us be clear: We are not decreasing speeds in Woodinvile, or any of our markets for that matter. We will be reaching out to Mr. Gaulke to see if we can alleviate any lingering concerns. Christy Reap Frontier Communications
