Geraldine was just an all around nice, friendly and fun person. Who could not like that infectious smile? In fall 1968, the Blake gang, Geraldine, K.C Clarke and Portia Campbell and others, and the Middleton gang met as freshmen at Talladega College and had fun riding that Trailways bus back and forth from Tampa to Talladega, Alabama, 17 hours each way, with our brown paper bag fried chicken and pound cake lunches. Geraldine was always personable and had a smile and we all made it through those formative trying years together. And then, on Talladega College's campus, there was a nice young man named Arnold Elston that completed that journey for Geraldine....and the rest is history. She was a wonderful soul who will be missed. And so it is.
