This is quite sad... we just lost Martha Jean Burke Carlson this past Saturday, December 28, 2024, shortly after her 76th birthday. I've known Martha since elementary school but lost touch over the years. May God comfort and bless her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Martha is the daughter of Earle and Mary Roberts Burke and she has two older brothers, Jeff BHS '59 and Bill BHS '60.She married Clifford Carlson in 1968 and they have three children.

Valley Times Photograph caption dated September 29, 1959 reads "Very important parent and very important pupil, that is, are Mayor Earle William Burke and his 10-year-old daughter, Martha, who naturally selected her dad as the first person to pin with a PTA VIP membership button. Approving procedure is Mrs. K. M. Simpson Jr., membership chairman, Burbank Council."

I have wondered about her over the years. I used to swim with her in her pool after school. Their house was way up in the hills. Her mother drove the new little T bird with the round window. RIP Martha.
