Crushed on Susie 9th grade? We 'went together' for a minute. Her mom was "KOOKIE" as they come. Long cig holder, wild blue one pc jumpsuit all zipped up the front, flaming red hair. A real 'tiger'. 
Susie was always in the mix of whatever was going on. Into everybody's business. A real "mensch" if I remember the little bit of yiddish I picked up back in the day. Hadn't seen her in years and years but heard she was sick. I know a LOT of people around here remember this dynamo. Talk about a BEAUTIFUL smile.
