( Growing up, she was my late sister, Yvonne (Baker) Ferran's best friend all through elementary school and high school. After I graduated at VHS, in 1961, Vivian, Carrolyn (Stafford) Haley and I shared an apartment together in Oklahoma City until Carrolyn left to get married and attend college, and then, after a while, I left to get married. Vivian married fairly soon afterward.) Helen Baker Foglesong ~ friend
