I have fond memories and great admiration for Virginia as a multitalented and hard-working leader of East Greenwich Leisure Learning over the years. My husband and I had a very pleasant visit with her at the rehab reminiscing about Leisure Learning. Virginia added such sparkle and drama to our lives and we miss it.
