A great pal since I met her at St. Luke’s CCD in 1966…. Kathleen was so much fun and adventurous… fond memory of riding in her karmann ghia underneath fallen trees from a hurricane to Compo.. “yes we live here” we told the cops blocking the road to only residents… the water was just short of the road leaving Compo From Westport to her many visits to Colorado we enjoyed our friendship to the fullest.. Miss you tons Buzel… until, love ya kiddo
