I knew Geraldine at the College of Notre Dame in Baltimore. She was an extremely likeable suitemate during the year I spent at that college. She workedd on the newspaper among other activities. I remember her as so very highly intelligent as well as having a great sense of humor. I always regretted not keeping in touch.
