Yesterday we were kids together at Hartwick College and Med Tech school dreaming of our futures and loving the magic of science. We were all broke and stressed about our rigorous program, but Carol Ann's sparkle and joy of life kept us smiling. Over these last 50 years, she found her soul mate with John, great joy in her children and always warmth for her friends. Dear Carol Ann, your's was a life well lived.
