I remember Carlye as a kind, very fun & good looking classmante.  I recall taking her to a haunted hosue in Burke one night which in the end became a bit of a fiasco.  At that time, for whatever reason, it was (remember?) vogue to take your date to a scary place on a Friday night.  So for me & Carlye it was a "haunted" 3-story clapboard cabin that we climbed & were exploring and hugging in when we were faced w/ a floodlight & bullhorn exclaimed, come out of there now!  Holy cow!  That got us motivated w/ me needing to "explain" how we mistakenenly ended up in there & didn't mean any harm & blah, blah, blah.  But no matter what I always remember Carlye for her poise, fun & attractiveness.  I miss her!
