Corky, regretfully just now learning of Carolyn's passing, so many fond memories going back to the 50's at the drugstore, and as our neighbors in later years, I share your loss.

I want all of you to know how much Carolyn touched everyone around her. She and I could escape from the workday and hospital atmosphere by talking about golf. She was a wonderful women and will not be forgotten. My prayers are with all of you.

I think of Mrs. Leider often.When I remember what a good coach and person should be, she is the example I think of as the ideal. My family is very saddened to hear of her passing. She felt like family to us.
