The Dunn's most treasured keepsakes still surround them in their newhome. It was there that Eastridge talked of their shared connection asMrs. Dunn spent 30 years working in the field of social work after abrief career teaching in one-room schools in Grayson County. During the visit, Dunn cradled her precious "Girl's Graduate Journal"album from 1933 and showed it to Eastridge. One of the pages read: "Stapp HallOther friends who wrote in Dunn's album while she was at CU included:Jenny Newland, Lena Franklin Higdon, Gladys Williams, Alice TaylorRagdon, Jessie Irvine, Curtis Phipps, Topsie Vera Pike, Mary FarrisRaywick, Vivian Whitlow, Lillie Turner, Thelma Lake and Jr. CrippsBradshaw.

Mary Kate Farris has been lifetime friend "Mother and her dear friend from Campbellsville, Mary Kate Farris, keptin contact all of their lives." her daughter said. "One photo I hope tobe able to give the college, when it is unpacked, shows Mother and MaryKate with two other girls, each one wearing different colored polka dotpajamas, all leaning over the railing of Stapp Hall enjoying dorm life." The Bowling Green daughter, beside whom Dunn and her husband live now,is one of four children. The other three are Dale Dunn who lives inKonxville, TN; Charlene Henderson, Spring Hill, TN.; and Kyle Dunnin Goodlettsville, TN. In the background throughout the visit, an antique clock ticked awayeach second, occasionally chiming the hour, reminding all that even as achild of God nears the 100-year mark, life's precious seasons passquickly and reminders must be captured as Pauline Dunn has, wearing hermedal every day and keeping her album of good friends messages close by.
