So sorry to learn that I have missed one of my dear friends from Southern Bell Telephone days. We worked together in the Accounting office in the. Pere Marquette Bldg. Fond memories and regrets at not having searched for her sooner. Life happens and we lose contact. I always meant to surprise her on one of my drives down to New Orleans. Condolences to her lovely family.

Mrs. Forstall was one of the first people I met when I moved to New Orleans in 1993. I could barely speak English, yet, she understood the specific paints I needed, patiently helping me get them. I so enjoyed visitng with her. She was one of the finest people on the planet. I was so fortunate to call her friend, and meet so many of her loving and wonderful family. My sympathies to you all. I shall never forget her kindness to me and her never ending encouragement of my success.
Sincerely

Dear Forstall's,
I worked at Forstall Art Supplies as my first job when it was across from Forstall Typography. I loved working for Paul and Mrs. Forstall and still hear her telling he and I to ,"stop pushing papers around " and get to work! She would make me lunch often, which was not included in my job description! It was because she was a nice and caring woman. I loved working there and have memories of joking around and learning at the same time. I remember most of you and have you in my thoughts.
Sincerely,
Nancy Smith
