Half a century ago I had the privilege of sharing a dorm room with Caroli, that’s what we called her back then. I have thought long and hard about what to say. Our paths diverged over the years, but we kept in touch if sporadically. I could tell a million stories about her:she was fun, she could eat an entire eight pack of Long Johns, a pastry, at a sitting , She loved clothes, even took a class at PSU in which she would dress up and the class would critique her outfit. she did not like zoology, her major, she was a lot neater than I was, but put up with me. I could go on but I’ve always felt that the people that you meet in your life are like a patchwork quilt , each soul is a patch that when stitched together makes a quilt that nourishes you and keeps you warm. She is an extra beautiful patch in my quilt. God Speed love Gretchen
