    I was a classmate of Carolyn’s and knew Mary though she is younger than me. My brother Bob and Mary’s father Skillet were very good friends and spent a lot of time together. My condolences to the family. All the Johnson family had red hair and so did I. I could sympathize with all the teasing red heads would get. May Mary rest in peace.
