There really is no first memory since she was part of my childhood. Rita lived behind me and was one of the gang of kids that lived on 18th Place where everyone knew each other. We played in our back yard, ran thru the alleys and gangways, and passed time sitting on the front steps talking about everything girls talk about . We share the same memories of our times at St Ann's and St. Mary's. She was more than a friend she was part of my youth and will be alive in my childhood memories.
