I will always remember Connie and our trip to a Training Session at Harper's Ferry, WVA in the early 1970's. We saw all the Historical places in Washington, DC, George Washington's Mount Vernon, the Gettysburg Battlefield and when it was all over, we flew to NYC where my brother, Claude picked us up and then we "did" the Big Apple complete with the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and, of course, a Broadway Play, The Butterflies are Free, with Eddie Albert, Jr. and Gloria Swanson (a star from the 1930's.)
Hasta la vista, Connie, Vaya Con Dios.
