Gay and I met through our mutual love of New England and local history. She was so smart, so much fun and so proud of her wonderful family. She will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of Gay's passing. We lived across the street from eachother for many years growing up and reconnected again through the Williamstown Public Library in the 70's. Rest in peace my friend.
