September 27, 2010

Dear Margot,

My name is Georgia Johnston Ramm, and your sister Jean and I were best friends at Crocker Highlands School. There were many times I was at your house and sometimes spent the night. Your mother was always very nice and friendly to me. I have fond memories of her and Jean and was very saddened to read that Jean has already passed away. She and I met one time in the 1970's when we ended up in the same education class at Holy Names College. We had dinner together that night and enjoyed so much reminiscing about our Crocker Highlands days.

You probably don't remember me because I was older, but I did want you to know how much I liked your mother and Jean. Unfortunately, I saw your father only once or twice during those years because I was there during the day when he was working.

My best to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Georgia Johnston Ramm
