We were the 3 outlaws in school - all born the same month, each had no children. Lorraine Kelley July 2, Bernice Votaw July 10th, Bessie Jo Cole
July 28 and rode the school bus together.
We had so much fun when we were young!
Last year I was in the Towers with a broken leg and I saw her and went over to her and was saddened to know that she didn't know me. RIP
