Ice skating with T. Parker Hall in 1938

"T. Parker Hall was my first real boyfriend. We met in our first year of college. He became a bombadier and was shot down in World War II."

"Margaret O'Connell and I were friends through High School, College, and 1st year Medical School. We enjoyed doing similar things, studying, socializing, and vacationing together. She found Medicine too difficult and left for Nursing School receiving her R.N. degree and staying in the East while I married and moved to the West. She went on to earn a master's degree in nursing.

I attended her wedding as her Matron of Honor and am godmother to her first child. We kept in touch visiting each other as often as possible although less often as we aged. Margaret died in 2002."
