Vanel and I roomed together Brooklyn Jewish Hospital School of Nursing 1973 to 1975.We became friends during the first year of the three year program.Vanel had a significant influence on me. He was extremely dignified,charming and comported himself with class.He was a true friend and we could always count on each other during the arduous program.My thoughts to Colette and Mantovani who I remember from Queens.
