I have made previous reference to surrogate family members,
friends who become like family because we live in Atlanta, or share holidays
and other celebrations together. However,
Sue and Lorraine Iacovitti Henderson, as freshmen, met at Monmouth College and
became lifelong friends. Lorrie
and Bob became my dear friends too – they are pictured with my brother-in-law
Marc Auerbach, his daughter Maggie, Lorrie and my sister-in-law Lisa Auerbach.
Panzer family members attending are from R – L: sitting –
Ruth Hilton, Claire Afromsky, Rozzie Lewitt, Roz and Herman Auerbach, Howie and
Shirley Cassell. Standing from
