My sincere condolences to the Roughen family. I never knew until I read Marie's obituary Wrightthat she and I attended Cathedral School way back in the 40s. She was always a real sweet lady and I shall remember her in my prayers. I also worked at Hunter AAF when her nice husband and I worked in the HQ Bldg. God bless all.
