    Wanda was my supervisor at Southern Bell from 1973 until 1976. I decided just a few minutes ago to look her up but unfortunately I see that she passed away some years ago. She was kind and a fair person to work for, and welcomed me to town as a young woman new to the area. Sending belated condolences to her 2 daughters, who I remember from the times when they visited the office.
