It has been learned from a 03-21-05 newspaper article that three years ago when unable
to walk any longer Gayle moved to the Saint Mary Health Care Center in Worcester, MA.
No longer able to do e-mail she is busy writing haiku poetry, writing to former classmates
and teaching manual sign language to others in the facility. Welcome religious services are
held therein.

The oak leaves that cling
To their tree, are brave to stand
Before wind's fury.
