So sorry to hear of Pauline passing. We were very good friends at Silverado. We lost contact after school but I'll never forget her or her sister Peggy. Both were positive spirits in my younger years.

Very sorry to learn of Pauline's passing. Peggy was one of my closest friends at Silverado Junior High, although I have lost track of her.

Pauline and started our friendship at Mt. George Elementary School. That friendship lasted up until Pauline moved away from Napa. I have many wonderful memories of our times together. One of my favorites is of Pauline and I getting our dear friend and classmate Larry Zloczewski to drive us around town in his model A or T Ford. While Larry drove Pauline and I would sit in the rumble seat. Another is of a Silverado Jr. High Snow Trip to Squaw Valley where we were snowed in overnight. Pauline had "borrowed" her older sister Carol's sweater to wear. The sweater had gotten soaked so we decided to hang it over a floor furnace vent to dry. The next morning the sweater looked like it could fit a chimpanze. The body of that sweater was about six inches long with the arms hanging to the floor.
I will hold these memories and many others close to my heart until we meet again. Miss you dear friend.
