Arlene & I were good friends for a number of years. We golfed at the Northshore Golf Course & visited back & forth. Many fun & happy times.
I will miss my Aunt Arlene. Though I haven’t seen her in a while, I have wonderful memories of gatherings at her camp. I learned how to drive the dirt bike and how to drive a stick shift on her dune buggy. A lot of memories there! Love you Aunt Arlene! Terry Wright
