Cathy Cales; I have heard my mother talk about having the flux, (German
influnza.) However, I have always thought it was earlier than December
1925. However, it was not unusual at that time before modern medecine, for
a fimily to get a disease that took several members of the family.
I called and talked with one of the only two people in this community
that are older than I am and he couldn't remember and she has
Alzheimer's. The biggest problem with living too long: those you want to
ask about something are gone.
