Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I will always remember Mag Boucek fondly. Growing up with Kurt and Barbara, I have many memories of the family and the house in Cary that I will never forget. An important part of my life during my formative years, “Mrs. Boucek” (with her characteristic hair bun), had a profound influence on my life and is a major part of what I am today.

    Sleep well, Mrs. Boucek.
