It was on this day 51 years ago - March 1, 1961 - that Carole Beaty left us. Much too soon. Carole was a very close friend of mine. We met in Gerald Smith's Biology class in the 10th grade and became lab partners. Carole was so much fun to be around and way ahead of her time in a lot of ways. I bet she would have been a "Hippie" in the later '60's - at least for awhile. She thought "out of the box" for sure. I have remembered her so much through the years and wished that she was still here. Miss you Carole. Thanks for the memories.
