“In loving memory of Katherine Bridgforth Hooker. Well, I knew her as Kitty Sue! I was one of the four Longwood girls who lived together in Martinsville. As a matter of fact, I convinced Kitty Sue to teach there and then she met Clyde. Kitty Sue and I had many great times together. She was always classy, down to earth, friendly, a great apartment mate, and kind to everyone. With deepest sympathies. Hope Worsham Zipp”
