Carol was a member of Lauralton Hall's Class of 1970, and there was no one more vivacious and fun. She was one of the few in our age group who had fabulous bone structure and great presence (the rest of us took a while to catch up). When I remember her and those days, it is with a smile, as she took the lead singing "Soldier Boy" complete with dance steps and dramatic guestures. How we laughed. Rest easy, Carol. You had a long, hard road. Brigid
