I just thought of Carol today some 44 years (1978) after I met her when we were covering meetings in East Granby CT for competing newspapers: She for the Hartford Courant and I for the afternoon Valley Press, an offshoot of the Bristol Press , with an office on Route 10 in Simsbury. We bonded as colleagues and exchanged jokes as we dealt with what we thought were ridiculous discussions by the Board of Education. (We got punchy with fatigue when meeting=s stretched well past midnight) We once got so boisterous, the Board of Ed stopped their meeting to censor us. We tried to take it seriously, but both got such a case of the giggles we had to leave the building . She was fun enough that I still can hear her voice and laugh all these years later. Rest in peace, dear Carol. Blessings, Rev. Thomas W. Caruso Harrisburg PA
