I worked with Katie at King Pontiac. She was a dear friend and one of kindest people I´ve ever known. I have never forgotten how kind she was to me. I was just telling a friend last week about how much she helped me when I was a single mother. I´m sorry I wasn´t able to stay in touch over the many years since I last saw her, but I did try to find her many times. Rest In Peace dear friend. Until we meet again.

Katie was a wonderful teammate of mine back in the 1950's and 60's. She was a great pitcher and a great person.
