I have known Marian a lot of years - she and my Aunt Dorothy were very good friends. I believe Marian and Aunt Dorothy meet at work. Aunt Dorothy moved to Rochester, then Marian and Aunt Dorothy would take vacations together. A few time they came stay in a mot4el near where we camping it was a fun time, It is only the last few years that I have visited with Marian and reheard some of the stories of their trips.
