Mary and I were in a carpool to Tech back in the 60s when we were working on Masters. She was always funny, making our trips pleasant. Her dear mother, Mrs. Perritt, was my first grade teacher. Of course, all who passed through MHS loved Mr. Earle Cooke. What a fine family with such a beautiful legacy.
