Lucy and a life well lived. I first met her when I went to work at Fort Harrison, VAC, in 1961. She was always upbeat and funny, a pleasure to work with. One of the first things she asked me was, “Do you know my little brother, Jerry Pronovost?”
I told her hat I did and that we were the same age. I always remembered that, as there was this huge age difference between them. Jerry died last year in Billings, he was 77. Rest In Peace, Lucy in the Sky.

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, I will always remember the times and giggle alittle bit , when I started on board the VA> you were the first person I met as I started work in your section! You and the rest of my co-workers kept warning me of the little gal that was on vacation, and that I probably would not like her, as she was bit cranky! that was a true story, but I worked fairly well with all you women in support services! Teresa would always tell me that I would not know what I know, because she taught me everything about the job! I kept having to remind her, that she was on vacation when I arrived and that, LUCY HAD ALREADY TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW! Will always have those memories! Thanx Lucy you will be remembered always! good-bye.
