To Joan, I recently thought about Mary and remembered when she and Don took us for rides in his convertible, 1958, fun times. Sounds like she had a long life.Many regards, hope you are well. Sue

Lovely Mary, the friend of my childhood. I will never forget those times at the farm
Mary was older and so glamorous and so kind to her dorky cousin. Thank you
