Carol is a former local of Nantucket Island. She attended Siasconset High School with Joe Hackett, Brian Hackett and Helen Chappel and was often referred to as the most popular girl in school for the majority of her life. Her father owned the local ice cream shop in town which Helen frequented. Carol once pushed Helen over for getting ice cream on her dress. She may have been one of the reasons that Joe and Brian first started vying for her attention in high school.
