I have warm memories of Jean who was my classmate at VSC. I met her my freshman year when she worked in the mail room. She was always friendly,and cheerful. So was so sweet and a pleasure to be around. She left a very lovely message in my yearbook in '58. Although the distances prevented me from seeing her in the following yrs, I never forgot her.
I extend my deep sympathy to her family.
