To all the Family, Gladys was my cousin that I grew up with in Houston and Canonsburg. Her Mom and Dad, Dorothy and Allan Surich were my Aunt and Uncle. Gladys, Dorothy June and I spent many evenings watching the old gang play Penny Annie at their home on Grant St. So sorry that we lost touch over the years. I remember Gladys bringing Jonelle to UCLA years back and caring for her during her tests. Also remember of long ago the labor Temple picnics. Sandy Conaby, her cousin was there also. My sympathies to the family and would love to hear from Dorothy June and anyone that would like to keep in touch. Love, Donna Stinespring, Schehl
