May you cherish the good memories of your beloved Arlene. As a 57 AHS classmate I have great memories of her then and since at our class reunions and other gatherings through the years. I was also a classmate of Jesse from 1957-58 at the old Capital City Commercial College, and later when they were married. So many memories of good time as we remember her life. Our blessings to all . Ron Kraft and Barb Hancock
