Mary and I are Birthday buddies. We have exchanged cards for years. She and Bob Lanza sat behind me in the Somerset Valley Orchestra in the Clarinet section for years. With her quick wit, she would make us (young kids) laugh with her words of wisdom. Such a talented woman - a great mentor. Love her books!! She loved playing in the orchestra and when she was having a hard time playing, I would encourage her to play only the pieces she liked. She contributed a lot to the orchestra, being Manager was a big job, and she did a fantastic job. I will miss her greatly!
