Sorry to learn of Carol’s passing. Carol and my mom, Esther Meissner, enjoyed many events and trips together in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Carol and Esther had just flown back to Minneapolis in October of 1989 when we surprised them at the airport – our adopted daughter, Mikayla, had arrived from South Korea while Carol & Esther were on a trip to enjoy New England fall colors. Carol was such a gracious lady and a good friend to my mom. Condolences on your loss.
