Mary and I were good friends in high school in Wellsville, and we both went to Elmira College. We were not in any of the same classes at Elmira, so I rarely saw her. After college we lost touch for many years. Mary moved around a lot and I couldn’t keep track of her whereabouts! When she moved to Ithaca, we reconnected and got to see each other a couple of times a year, always at a Thai restaurant there. I also visited her in Bennington several times and was there to see her just about three weeks ago when she was in rehab. We had a good conversation and I was looking forward to seeing her again next month on my way back from a trip to Maine. She and I always had a good time reminiscing and I will truly miss her friendship. But we have plans to meet again in the future - my burial plot will be in Mills, PA, which is only a few miles down the road from her plot in Ulysses, PA. We just don’t know if we can have Thai food delivered there!
