A Yardane girl is hard to beat. She is 100% from head to feet. She has a style, a smile, a winning way. No matter where you go, you will recognize her and you will say: "Now there's a girl I want to meet." Gerri Palmer Weiss you were that girl. I know that right now you are organizing a chapter of BBSC. Stick to organizing, keeping things together, and party planning.
When your new group has to sing, remember to only move your lips! Ha Ha! Say hi to Rose and Howie.
You will be missed.
Love,
Ina
