Mary, so many good times. I'm glad I have the memories. You have had a remarkable life! My sympathy to your family. Love, Joan Prendergast Pilz

To Sister Mary Ellen (my sister):

Thank you for teaching me how to ride a tricycle, how to play records on a phonograph machine, teaching me about the solar system, introducing me to Sister Claire Markham (who was able to make me understand Physics), and for countless other lessons on life, learning, science, and human behavior.

Best wishes throughout the next...

Dear Nancy, Sheila Rose, and Stephen:
