I met Darla the first day of Kindergarten at West Elementary, Mrs. Menzer's afternoon class, 1965. She was one of my first friends. She was a pretty, sweet, nice little girl. We were friends all through school, sometimes spending the night together at her house. One of those times in particular we stayed up all night watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon over Labor Day weekend. I always think of Darla during Labor Day. May she rest in peace.
