I worked with Katherine at District 7. She worked so hard and knew her job, inside and out. Blessings to the family. Katherine will not be forgotten.

Dear Folks, I've been out of touch and only in the last week or so have been catching up and gathering memories and photos for our diminishing "gang". I'm so sorry for not being able to keep up until now. Joe, Jr. was my first roommate at Clemson ca. 1965. I knew "Kat" and Joe, S. and Ruth. For may years exchanged Christmas cards. One wintry (ice storm!) weekend, Kat came to Clemson and brought Joe and me home to Gaffney for the weekend. Please contact me so I can share the private memories with you. Sincerely, Fred
