Sr. Gertrude & her childhood friend Marie

Marie Roskovensky Sulc and Sr. Gertrude  were friends for most of their lives, although Marie was one year younger. The two were schoolmates in  St. Mary's parochial school in Uniontown, Pa. Sr. Gertrude probably attended the wedding when Marie married Cyprian Sulc in June 1934. Marie and Cyprian founded Nehi Bottling Co. in Washington, Pa, which later became Royal Crown Bottling. Marie helped run the company until she retired at age 78. She loved to travel and took more than 30 cruises and traveled to Europe several times. Marie Sulc died on April 9, 2011.

During one of Sr. Gertude's trips home to southwestern Pennsylvania, Marie Sulc's daughter and son-in-law treated Marie and Sr. Gertude to a ride on the Gateway Clipper.
