Rose Anne was the daughter of Irene Major Rand and Roy Rand. She attended Percy M Hughes High School, a Syracuse facility for students with physical disabiities. I do not remember the specifics of Rose Anne's disability; she used a crutch to aid her wallking, but during her youth she was energetic, had a lively imagination and a love for reading and movies. She was outgoing and like many Major family members could talk your ears off. In several ways she reminded me of Liz Major, perhaps the most colorful member of our clan. Rose Anne was president of her senior class at Hughes High and also president of the Hughes School Girls' Club.
