I knew "Strookie" way back in 1941 and1942 at camp Fetnwood. I always looked up to her. She was always the oldest alum who came back to our summer reunions back at camp every 5 years. Now I guess I am the oldest-will be 95 on December28!

Each Thursday Dear Gloria at our writing workshop we remember you. When you read from you beautifully written memoir you kept us wrapped with all your stories of Hollywood. I bet you are having a wonderful time with all you old friends and most importantly your beloved husband Leonard. With My Love Lyn
