Our sincere sympathies to Marie's Family. Decades came and decades went, Marie was a constant at the North Star Tavern. She posessed a sharp wit, a quick tounge and a wry smile. Marie always said what she meant and she meant what she said. Marie was great fun, she was a class act, and she poured a darn good drink.
