I was saddened to hear of Ruth Allen's passing. The Allen Family lived a block away, and Carol was a childhood friend of my younger sister, MIriam. Carol was at our house frequently, and my dad would buy food that Carol liked.
When I was student teaching in 1973 in Special Education at McDonald Elementary School in Warminster, I had a minor car accident. Mrs. Allen ( who was also teaching Special Education in a different class) drove me to school and back until the car was fixed.
She was so smart and interesting to talk to. She had a special ability to teach and had much affection for her special students. She was a very kind person to help me as she did.
I still remember Carol, Sharon, and MIriam playing together and going to the Allens' cabin. You all were great girls.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Carol.
