I first met Edith back at the Franklin School in Allouez. We became best friends and remained so thru high school and college. We moved on to our teaching jobs, married, moved to different parts of the country, but every Christmas and birthday I heard from her.I have many wonderful memories. Have been looking at old photos, recalling those times. she was always such a wonderful friend. My sympathies to all of her family. Peg Frederickson
