Funny, spirited, a laugh that set ships to sail… all what one would want in a Freshman roommate. Along with Wendolin (Evans) Knight, the three of us stayed up late at night in our Williams E suite listening to records (George Wilson, Jeff Beck, oh my the memories) and sharing all our life stories — what ones we had before the age of 18! Carol was always up for doing things, and trying new experiences. I re-connected with her later in life when she visited me at my former home in Boston. She was so proud of her children as she shared with me stories about motherhood — she must have been a wonderful mom. I am sad for her kids, such a loss. Their grief must be unimaginable. I will watch a curl of smoke rise in the sky tonight, and think of her.
Carol and I ( and another Carol) were roommates in my first ever apartment. Will always remember those strangely different but fun times together, each of us learning how to become adults. So sad.
