Kathleen Bentz Fay

Thanks, Ron, for reminding me of skating at Center Springs.  There were also the bike excursions to Globe Hollow from the north end and Saturday afternoon matinees on Main Street.  My mother loved it when I went with Kathy as she knew Mrs. Bentz would be checking the Legion of Decency Guide.  When Kathy and I were still at Hollister School, we went one day to to the kids' afternoon movie and stayed as long as we dared to watch a part of the adult movie.  We then ran as fast as our legs could carry us and stopped a block short to catch our breath so we could casually walk into Kathy's house on Summit Street.  Mrs. B. took one look at us and said:  "So how much of "Picnic" did you two watch?"  We probably had to miss a couple of matinees after that but we got to see Kim Novak and William Holden up on that screen.

Though Kathy was already in hospice at home, we shared some good memories and lots of laughs on a visit in December.  Rest in peace, my friend.   Mary Jane McLaughlin Angelone
