Ingrid and Regis Lemaire remained our close friends for over fifty years from the time
that Ingrid and Audrey worked together at the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation in NYC.
We regularly visited them in the summers after they moved to Suncook.
We will miss them terribly and are deeply saddened by their loss.
