I remember , Doris, with great thoughts. She and I were playmates, growing up in Mattawana. In high school, we were teammates on the basketball team. I often got a ride home from basketball practice with her and her boyfriend, Bill, who became her husband. I'm blessed to have her daughter, Sally, as my sister-in-law.
