My name is Margie Best. I am the niece of Russene Ayala (back then). I was only there for one summer when I was about 7 or 8 (about 47 years ago), but remember Trini, Marlene and Leonard. Leonard was my pen pal for quite some time. I am sorry to see that Trini is no longer with us. I've been looking for you all now for quite some time.
