March 16th was the 86th birthday of my friend Shirley. We've been friends since 6th grade. Years ago, she sent me a letter with this old B/W photo of the two of us. I just learned last night that she died two days after her birthday last month. I started thinking of other friends and realized Ginny in Florida is now the friend I have had the longest, though we didn't meet until we were in high school. She was a year ahead of me in school (and in age), but we keep in touch even though neither of us now lives in our hometown.
