Kelly made many good friends at the Ridge. She loved to travel and was a keen student of languages. Kelly spoke French and Spanish and made it to France later in life. She had an astounding memory for detail. Kelly was proud of her Irish and Scottish background and stayed in touch with many relatives in both places.
