Shirley Carson was a life-long friend. I met Shirley in the sixth grade at\nSacred Heart School in Portland. After graduating, we both attended\nthe former Cathedral High School, where we participated in the\nplays sponsored by Cheverus High School. Shirley met her future husband, Robert Carson, while rehearsing for THE SONG OF BERNADETTE, in which she had the leading role. After their marriage, Bob’s work took them to various locations, but we remained in touch. After Bob’s retirement, they moved back to Maine, where I was able to see them more often. My condolences to her entire family, especially to her daughter, Patricia Larson, Shirley’s caregiver in the last few years.
