To
Bonnie's family,
My name is Carol Kennedy and I attended Mansfield from 1961-1965. My maiden name was Bryant and I was a music major. I remember Bonnie so
vividly. Her desk was right out in the open and it was a happy place to come. She was always cheerful and helpful in the music office with Dr. Schmidt. When music was ordered, it was delivered there and then we
picked it up from her. She always took time to talk with us awhile.
Our hearts grant immortality
to those we love
in memory.
Carol Kennedy
