Sharon's father and my mother were happily married for 15 years and lived in Clearwater, FL until his passing in 1995. That made Sharon and me step sisters and I enjoyed our relationship. We, unfortunately, lost touch about six years ago. I have often thought of Sharon and wondered how she was doing and was saddened at reading her obit in The Washington Post this morning.
When we first met back in the1970's, as we had not known each other until our parents got together, Sharon was working for the telephone company and one of the memories that stands out for me was that she used to climb the telephone poles to make repairs. I thought that was pretty gallant. I'm sorry that she is gone and I wish we had done a better job of staying in touch.
