Dear Galloway Family
Carolyn and I met when we both started working as long distance telephone operators in Charlottesville in the mid 60's. Continued our friendship over the years with her moves to NY, WA, and then Texas and my later move to AR, It was our delight to learn that Carolyn lived in the same subdivision as my 2nd husbands lifelong friend! Although we had not kept in touch for a few years, I still often thought of her and our times together. Carolyn....my heart misses you and look forward to our "meeting in the air"...
