 Margi was one of my best friends going way back to first grade at Foster Elementary, Mellon Junior High, & graduating from Mt. Lebanon. She & Don married two weeks after Hank & I in 1964. We always stayed in touch as they moved across thr country. Our most memorable get-together was with Bunni & Marshall Hoffman, Margi & Don in Savannah for a weekend! 

My sympathy to Sue Corbett, her sister, her daughters, Lauri, Melissa, & Sue, & grandkids. Cherish the Great memories always. Wendy Turner Meyer
