Carol Sloan became my friend after we did a play at the Raleigh North Carolina little theater in 1973. The play was called Dames at Sea a story of the Navy and I had just gotten out of the Navy and I was the only sailor on stage that had a real navy uniform, which I wore in Vietnam. I was 12 years younger than her a few years went by. We didn´t see each other until I was a waiter in a French restaurant and she walked in. She was back in town and I waited on her and she did remember me. Another time I took some friends in tuxedos we were to a nightclub in Chapel Hill called Stevens after all. After she performed on stage, she came and sat at our table because she recognized me in the audience, and my friends were so impressed that I knew her. I am shocked to learn of her passing, and how time has flown by. She will forever be in my heart and my memories of the times we spent together. Rest in peace, my beautiful friend.
