I'd like to personally thank Vaughn Olson for all his aid in helping me find Claire La Rossa. With his help I spoke to her Mom, who in turn let Claire know we were looking for her. Claire called me. She is well, married with 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters. Her last name now is Benedict and she is living in Maine.
I can't begin to tell you all how happy I was to know Claire was alive and well. Thanks again!!
regards, Marylou
Well, you gave us everything except Claire's shoe size -
making the search far easier. Without your input, it
would have taken sheer luck and a miracle.
Our thanks go to YOU, Marylou.
I'd just like to let you know that I contacted, through email, the woman I know that is Barbara Winiarski's relative, as promised. I haven't heard from her yet but when I do I will notify you immed. of her amswers. I also want to let you know that with speaking to Claire, Fritzie (Forst) Pisarski and I will be going up to either Maine, where Claire is or to Boston to see her in the middle of August. I am so very excited as we haven't seen each other since 1975. I find it amazing that good friends can go without seeing or speaking to each other for years and then reconnect without skipping a beat. Sooo good!!!
