Your mother and father were in cahoots with your next-door neighbor at the time, in convincing my father and mother, Green Hills was the place to be! And they won! We moved in, after they, Christmas Eve 1959.
And still the Lennex and MacAdams families own their GH homes today.
The Lennex "kids" and the MacAdams "kids" were on the GH swim team for years.
Later, say 15-20 years ago, upon my visits to see my father and
mother, I would run into Donna most often working out at the YMCA!
Forever a peppy, sharp, lovely woman!!
Donna was always a great woman! And she will always be loved by those who knew her.
