High School Friends Reunited Again

Betty kromberg and Jean Katz started their friendship as high school students both graduating from Far Rockaway High School in Queens, NY in 1937. After high school, they lost touch with each other when both went their separate ways. Amazingly, 50 years later and unbeknownst to each other, both women and their husbands chose to move to Palm Coast for their retirment in the 80's.

Miraculously, while attending the same party in Palm Coast, they found each other again. They rekindled their friendship, but after the passing of their husbands they lost touch once again.

On May 4th, both Betty and Jean independently decided to make The Windsor their new home. These days Jean and Betty are busy catching up and making new memories together. This friendship has truly withstood the test of time.
