I have know Mary Ann since kindergarten in Washington School and in Junior and Senior High we were the 'Name Twins', often dating boys with the same name. We always had fun together at our many slumber parties and I always felt welcome in her home with her wonderful family. We were together last month at our Class of 58' Birthday Party as we all turned 85. It was so good to see her and we had a good visit. She was a dear friend.
