Condolences to your families I just saw this obituary today. I have fond memories of Carolyn and Ron. Years ago we used to gather my late husband Gerry and myself with Mike and Eleanor Devine. And Bill Morton and Donna his wife. And we had some fun times together. Then we were posted and we lost touch after that. As well I was a nursing student and Carolyn would chat with me if we met in the cafeteria. While others wouldn’t, some sort of pecking order thing. I’m the only one left of the group. But I was also the youngest. Again sorry to hear of your loss!
