Mary's Story
Life
I was employed at Ellicott Drug Company on Walden Ave for about 10 years (Miss LaSota had hooked me up with that employer during my senior year). I met my husband, Marty (who was Canadian), at Uncle Sam's on a Monday night (Remember?!: Monday night 25 cent drinks and Canadian money at par!). We married and I moved to his hometown - Welland, Ontario. I was blessed with 17 wonderful years of marriage to this extraordinary man until I lost him after a short battle with acute myloid leukemia.

(He often rode me about the northern weather!) If it wasn't for classmates.com, I may have never found him again and my life may have never taken this path. Funny how life happens!
