Connie and I became neighborhood friends when we were in 3rd grade at Rose Hill school. We graduated high school together and remained friends for years. She and Harold were our family friends as our kids grew up and knew each other. My caring thoughts for the Cavanaugh family from the Shinn and Rice families.
Connie and I climbed trees together in our growing up days. We lived on parkland.
