Carol and I go back many years. She and I were in Virginia for several years with our little children. We played bridge together, went for walks with the kids, had dinners and picnics with families. She kept me informed about what was going on in the Iron Range, even though she lived in the cities. My heartfelt condolences to the families; she will be missed by me for years.
