Dear Leonard,
Mary and I were classmates at Dunbarton. I remember her carring your picture in her wallet. We also had our picture taken the day of graduation with the Irish Ambassador and it was printed in the Wa. Post. My prayers are with you and Mary's family. Marion Krueger

Mary and I were classmates at Dunbarton College and I can not recall a lovelier person than Mary. I was in DC in October and knew that there were serious health issues but her death still came as a shock. Leonard has kept all of us informed of Mary's recent fall and decline. My condolences to Leonard and all of Mary's family. My thoughts and prayers will be with you as you go through this difficult time. I unfortunately live too far away to be able to attend the services. Much love to her family. Joan Bennett Dart.
