Mrs. "V" ,as we called her, was a longtime friend to our family. She and her husband did many thngs with my parents, Don and Dorothy Phipps. I remember I would always ask about her each time I would come back to Ithaca. It had been many years since I had last seen her as she sat in the Ithaca Center having a cup of coffee while waiting for her car to be worked on, but she knew who I was instantly. She was great fun to know and be around. Donna Phipps Depuy
