My condolences to Carole’s family. I met her when I came to Revere as a young teacher in 1967. We immediately became friends and she helped in my first years as a teacher. (I just learned of her passing 3/2024.)

CJ, was a great classmate of mine through our 1954 graduation from Corpus Christi grammar school in Chicago. She was a notable as a cheerleader with Diane Samuels that inspired us basketball team to win the St. Anselm 1954 Basketball tournament  - our in 8th grade year. We resumed our academic careers together in college- she at CTC, me at Loyola; she as an AKA Ivey, me as a A Phi A Sphinxman. Her line that included Phala Daniel pledged cucurrently with us over 6 months in 1960. We, as Sphinxman, helped her & her line cross  into Beta chapter a month before they hosted our Alpha neophyte party 30 July 1960 at the Old Alpha House on South Park. We continued to enjoy & collaborate on our Divine 9 presence over these 63 years.

CJ was a MARVELOUS PRESENCE in close to 80 years of myife. I still recall Papa Jones in a rocking chair on their front porch  room at 7601 S. Vernon in Chatham waiting for Carole to return home from one of our famous Greek Pledge Parties. He was on vigilantly guard there to make sure Warren Brown or other college suitors didn't steal a good night kiss or hug escorting her to their front door. We often joked about Papa Jones securing tooth picks to prop open his eye lids so he wouldn't fall 

as😴Leeper &  could watch her into the front door.

True Story...or close to it from my recollection.

My prayers are with you and Tara.
