We were in BBG together and in the very early days the Yates gang. We had many barbecues and many back yard games together.

I met Charlotte through the Northern Virginia Chavurah Meetup group. I spoke with her at two recent group events during the past month.

I knew Cookie as a very young girl in Chicago. My condolences to her family, including her brothers Sid and Mike.
