Phyllis and I were in the same graduating class of 1956 at West High School in Auburn, NY. We lived not far from each other as I lived on Arlington Ave in our earlier years. She went on to nursing school in Johnson City, NY, I stayed locally at AMH School of Nursing graduating in 1959. I left Auburn a few years later as married to an Air Force Military Man with many travels over the years. I have lost track of Phyllis over the years, so sorry to hear of her passing. It sounds like she had a fantastic nursing career, be proud of her and her accomplishments.
