Oh no! She was one of my favorites. She even attended the university I went to at the same time although I never met her. “Hey Ritchie, is that hankie for showin’ or for blowin’ as a guest star on Happy Days.

Yes. I really enjoyed her work on TV and in the movies she directed.

I see she went to the University of New Mexico. My former dancing/biking and other kinds of things friend from the U of Denver, Cheryl, used to work in library there if I am not mistaken. She is retired now. Married some guy in the air force after working on various military bases as a librarian. She was a fun woman to go dancing with and do other things.

That does not look like a big school either.

Yes UNM is the school. I think, but do not hold me to it, that in 1964 when I graduated there were a little over 12,000 undergraduates. In 2015 total enrollment was over 27,000.

The library is named Zimmerman Library. It has a huge collection of writings from the Spanish conquistadores. I found it a good place to study.

While Penny likely was in fine arts I was studying physics and mathematics for two majors so I got to know very few fine arts majors.
