The Fish sisters
They were the Fish sisters — Gerry, Kathy, Betsy, Sue. And anyone who attended Wright State in the university’s early days likely knew at least one of them. The Fishes cut a high profile when they were at Wright State in the 1970s and were heavily involved in campus activities. The house they rented on Colonel Glenn Highway near the university became a magnet for fellow students.
