I remember my Aunt Marge as joyous and youthful, always wearing a smile. She gave me my first real Barbie doll for my 10th birthday--my mom and I met her in Cortland and went out to lunch that day, which was also very special to me. Our family, including all of the aunts, uncles, and cousins, has been the bedrock of my life. Donna Bollhoefer Sorry to read about Marge's passing, but glad to hear she is reunited with so many camping buddies and Fran again. She was an inspiration with the rowboats and canoes with the King's Daughters at Camp Purchas and in the Boy Scout Office. Regards from someone Beverly used to baby sit. Fred Schühle
