Caroly was a co-worker and friend.We worked together starting in 66 at Piezo. I remembered her long before that picking up Mr. Spraglin for lunch every day at Letort School. Bill was my 5th grade teacher. This was right after he started teaching. When I started working at Piezo I worked in the sealing dept. and Carolyn worked in the lab. Working with her you knew she was a very private person but she had this great gift of caring about people. She was a beautiful caring and loving person that will be missed and thought of often. We have many blessing in our lifetime and Carolyn and her smile was one of mine.
My Sympathy goes out to her family and friends.
