Today, for whatever reason, Martha crossed my mind! She and I were friends at Morehead State College/University back in the 60s. I also knew her younger sister Janie and brother Bill who also attended Morehead while I was there. I am saddened to see that Martha and her siblings are no longer with us. Martha was always such a beautiful person with a soft, pleasant, and somewhat reserved personality. Martha came to Cincinnati to visit me once and we had such a wonderful weekend. My life was enriched by her friendship and I extend my deepest sympathies to her family and close friends.
