Remembrances |
Cathy always
had a bright, broad and contagious smile and friendly
manner. She made you feel welcome whenever you
visited--it was always great to visit Cathy & Bill. Like
many of us, she had problems with Spanish and began with
a clearly gringo accent.
She took great care to say her name in Spanish, a slowly
articulated
Cat-a-li-na! Catalina always brought much energy
and resolve to whatever she would do. Both the Coolidges
were missed when they left Bolivia.
