Jean Geroch

I should have signed this book the minute I saw Mrs.Geroch's death notice. I didn't know her, but her husband Dr. Geroch was our family doctor when I was a child. I was born in December of 1946 and I can remember one time I was probably 9 or 10, and had the flu, and Dr. Geroch actually made a house call.

Jean Geroch was to me a dear woman of unfailing graciousness, uncommon caring and concern, and formidable mind.
