Carol and I grew up together in Onondaga. We were classmates from 5th to 12th grade.
We had many good times together. I particularly remember being invited to her home to ride her pony and listen to records. She loved Johnny Cash. I just found out about her passing. Wish I could have attended her funeral. Even more, wish we had gotten together years ago. Wish she had attended our class reunions. She and Ron were both good friends. I miss them.
