My condolences to the family. Margaret and I dated for a brief time when we were at the University of Texas in Austin - she from Pasadena, TX, and I from Port Arthur, TX. She was a Gamma Phi Beta and I a Phi Kappa Psi and we had been matched for a 'mixer' sometime about 1959 or 60. I had wondered from time to time how she was and now I know. She was a very sweet young girl and always a beauty. So sorry.
