Thinking about Helen brings back so many great memories of the Cooper Road years (and beyond). She and my mother were good friends, as you’ll recall, and they both had such a grand sense of humor! My only visit to Cedar Point was when Helen joined my mother and me for an excellent adventure up there. I also remember what a wonderful hostess Helen was when I and a friend invited ourselves to Athens for a weekend, way back during college. What a lovely person she was!
