Words of sympathy

William E. Byrne wrote a sympathy message

“I knew Shirley Jones at Moncton High School in 1951. Shirley was one of the most intelligent sophisticated woman I ever knew. We danced together at #5 air base and went swimming at Pt. Du Chene and made ice cream at her family cottage. Shirley was so far ahead of me in many ways. She will be missed by all her family and I regret I was not able in person to thank her for her friendship . Bill Byrne BscEE MSEE MBA JD [email protected] 838 Devonshire, Sunnyvale, CA 94087”
