Jay; we spent most of our young lives together, from playing dress up on our back porches, to going through 13 years of school together, from kindergarten up to high school. At the Montague City School, we used to walk from school up to Uncle Eddie and Cioci Rosie's house for lunch each day, and play with the basset hounds. In High school, we used to sneak, and eat our lunch during social studies class. We had a great time spending summers at York Beach Maine walking the beach and swimming. I had a wonderful experience when I went to the Montreal World's fair with you, Don, and Cioci Aggie. That was my first big trip out of the USA and it meant a lot to me. I remember you and DeeDee. No one could beat you and her in barrels. She was a little horse with a lot of speed and no one could ride her like you. There are so many more memories that are so dear to me. You were always helpful, friendly, and I am so happy that you were in my life. You wrote in my year book that I will always be in your heart, ditto. I love you and will miss you very much. Dot
