I knew Carol through her brother, my brother-in-law Tom. She was among the brilliant, pretty Kapusta sisters. She had a confidence and commitment to education that I admired as a young adult. A female with a Masters’ was not common back then. Her sister Judy and I shared high school French classes and Nursing employer. Deepest condolences to family, friends, and all blessed to have known Carol.
