I went to Longfellow School with a great bunch of kids and always considered Kathy to be one of the nicest. Altho we lost track after high school,I always thought of her as a friend.
I would like to share a fond memory from the 5th grade:
Kathy's Mother, Mrs. Tracy,( who was a sweetheart) invited another friend, Sandy Tsoukalas and myself over to watch an old time, true WW 2 movie with Kathy called "The Fighting Sullivans". It was about 5 brothers from the same family who all enlisted in the Navy and served together on the same ship. The ship was attacked and all 5 boys were lost. It was the saddest movie I had ever seen and Mrs. Tracy handed out kleenex to all of us as we cried our eyes out.It was a bonding experience.
When we managed to get ourselves together and the movie was over, Mrs. Tracy took us all out in the kitchen and made "pizza" with English muffins. I have seen that movie several times over the years and have thought of being over with Kathy each time.
Kathy also went to the "Y" with a bunch of us on Tuesday nights when we were in the 6th grade where we learned how to do the "Twist" and the "Cha Cha Cha". Those were fun days.
To all of the Tracy/Carlisle family, please accept my sincerest sympathy. She will always be missed.
