I met Leona because we were both in the same Division Room at Schurz. I remember she was always pleasant and ready to smile (even in the mornings!) ~ she had a positive outlook on everything.  At times we would take the bus together or walk from school to 6 corners, where we both worked during our last two years in high school.  I have good memories of visiting her at Woolworth's, where she worked behind the lunch counter.  I worked at Rubin's Women's Apparel, and my hours included Monday,Thursday and Friday evenings (until they closed at 10 pm).  During my dinner hour, I would see Leona behind the counter, and she'd be happy if there was an opening at her station and I ordered something.  Seems we laughed together a lot, about anything and everything.  I lost contact with Leona after high school.  It was great to see her at our 25th reunion but very sad she wasn't around to be at our 50th.
