Do not know why I was brought to this site this very day to find that my dear friend from our teenage years in Rhode Island has passed away. Her Dad and mine took turns taking us to dances, once her Dad took us to an Officer's dance in Newport. We attended Sacred Heart School together and keep contact for years after that. I have fond memories in my heart because of who she was and who she was to me. Top left in photo is Carol and I am next to her at Sacred Heart School
