I REMEMBER BEV WHEN SHE WAS THE DRUM MAJORETTE IN THE MARCHING BAND. THE MATTHEWS LIVED NOT TOO FAR FROM THE STRYKER FAMILY IN THE FORTIES AND EARLY FIFTIES. WHEN MY SISTER AND I WOULD GO PLAY WITH ANN AND JOHNNY STRYKER BEV WOULD COME OVER AND JOIN IN. BEV WAS A NICE PERSON TO EVERYONE AND A VERY PRETTY GIRL. WHEN HER PARENTS MOVED INTO ROCKVILLE, THEY ONLY LIVED A HALF A BLOCK FROM MY PARENTS. MR. MATTHEWS KEPT AN IMMACULATE HEDGE, SO MY FATHER GOT HIM TO TRIM HIS HEDGE AND THEN WE HAD ABOUT A MILE OF HEDGE ROW IN DANA AND MR. MATTHEWS CAME OVER AND TRIMMED OUR HEDGE. HE WAS AN ARTISTS. BEV MARRIED SAM GARRARD, OUR HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY TEACHER. BEV AND SAM CAME TO OUR ALL SCHOOL REUNION THAT WAS HELD AT TURKEY RUN FOUR YEARS AGO. IT WAS THEIR 50TH REUNION.
