I was the Shapiro summer helper in 1966 for. Susan, Linda and Debbie. Judy wasn´t born yet. I still live near Chilton, Wi. I was going through all my picture albums from those teenage years of my life. I know it´s been such a long time ago. But it definitely was a special time spending my summer with the whole family. I did visit there only one time, with my 2 kids when they were small. Your parents were very good and generous people to know. I am saddened to have taken this long to communicate with you girls. But my thoughts now are with you all, if you happen to read this.

Gwen was my dearest friend from 7th grade on. She was bright, fun, president of many organizations and simply a wonderful person. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her

Gwen was a dear friend from the seventh grade through high school. Lost track during college, but saw each other when she was an occasional customer in my candy store. I remember her mom and her dad and I remember that she was the fastest 30 yard dasher in our gym class. May her memory be a blessing to all of her family. Marjorie Kaplow Kaplan
