Have fond memories of Jean. Jean and my Mom were great friends and shared stories and talked on the phone for hours at a time, when they did not visit in person. I can still see Jean riding her bike to my Parents house on Selkirk Ave. and the two ladies would be laughing over some inside joke! And of course tea and cookies always on order. A.
