    Yvonne (Avon) and I started nursing school at UNCW together in 1969! Over the years we have not kept in touch but I will always remember her and the good times we had. My dad nicknamed her Avon, how did she get the name Radar? RIP Avon and prayers going out for her daughter, family and friends!
