This is a fun-loving memory. Sonia and I took swimming classes at the Venetian Pool in the '70s and in order to pass the class, I had to jump in the shallow end of the pool. I needed Sonia to push me and I passed the class!
Sonia did not need any help. She was an excellent swimmer! We were Citrus Grove PTA mothers.

Sonja was my friend in the 60's. We were in PTA at Citrus Grove Elementary and we earned swimming certificates at Venetian Pool. She was a wonderful lady.
