KATHERINE FOCHT “Kitty” Alive, full of pep, and vitality—those are the charac¬ teristics that best describe Katherine. By the way, do you have your life insurance paid? You do? Well, then you can ride (at your own risk) with Katherine in her Chrysler. Seriously, though, Katherine, have you been affected by the rubber and gasoline shortage?
