I have very fond memories of Jo Gould when she lived on Pine Street as I was a teenaged neighbor long ago who babysat for Ellen and David. She was alway kind, soft spoken, considerate and a lovely person to know. I send my condolences to Don, Ellen, David and family. Sincerely, Debbie Hansen Burke, formerly of Melrose now of Killington, Vermont.
