Carol and I grew up together…she the bright 10-year old…who’s parents ran the local drug store in Bonesteel…this store had everything–Carol was close to the top in her class…quite good with the piano.. in our younger days in the 40’s and early 50’s…life was good….we thought it would never end. —-does it really?–i think not…for the spirit we suspect….is eternal.
