  7. Sorry to hear of Eleanor’s passing. I knew her as Arnolds wife during the 25 years I worked at Diamond Brand. She was a sweet and kind lady.

  8. As students at Fairforest High School, Eleanor(Class of 1957) and I (Class of 1956) were active in what was then a robust music program. We shared the same piano teacher, Mrs. Pollard, who always managed to schedule our summer music lessons back to back at her home.
    After graduation, I never saw her again but always remembered her disarming smile.
    It was gratifying to learn that she enjoyed a comfortable life for many years in Asheville.
