Claudia and I became best friends when we were about 5 years old. We walked to Monroe School together for many years. Although she was never late getting to my house on East Washington Street, she put up with my inexcusable tardiness and set a rapid pace so we arrived on time.
We remained close friends after I moved to Washington DC. She and Porter came to stay with us for visits, and when I went back to Sandusky for class reunions we spent time together.
I will continue to think of her with great fondness for the rest of my life.
