roommate Patsy Johnson loaded with packages an homework from the office of Donald Barry or whose Insurance Company she labors tirelessly ay after day Smiling at her I told her to sit down an have a cup of coffee then I told her to read e article I had just completed After she read it t is caused our thoughts to turn to other SCHS class mates of 1955 Patsy told me she had just seen Dot Devasher
