My window sill is filled with 'rocks', that Rusty had painted to look like frogs,, and other items; in fact, "Froggy" was her nickname to us in the computer club. 20 years of friendship,,never to be forgotten,, but forever missed..

I met Rusty (as we called her) through my
computer man, Bill Drennon. Do not remember when but we all went out to dinner once and I so enjoyed her. Sorry tohear she passed, but she will be remembered. So glad I got to meet her and communicate for a time.
