So sorry to hear about Gloria. I remember her and Walt from camper club days, and all the fun times. One especially was Concklin fish farm. Frankie R caught a big bullfrog and gave it to Gloria. She screamed, and climbed up on a picnic table to get away from it, but Frankie really want her to have it. It was so funny. So many good times with the group.
