Hello Nora- I don't know if you will remember me, Georgia Stubbs, we were friends in 4th grade. I remember that your Mom invited me over for dinner with you once, she made pot roast- and to this day it is the best pot roast I have ever eaten. I will always say "this is good, but not as good as Nora Monk's mother could make". I did not realize that she attended Stanford and Berkley.My condolences for your loss, it is not easy to lose one's mother. My parents are both alive, but ailing. Take care, Georgia
