Lois,
As always, you are a doll. I'm going to send this to my 88-yr old Aunt,
Mary Eloise Johnston Foley, and see if she remembers any of this. She
doesn't have a computer so it will have to be by snail mail. Might be
awhile. Once she receives it, she will call me. I would call and give her
the info but she is extremely hard of hearing, even her hearing aides don't
help much. To save time and confusion, it is better for me to mail it to
her. Thanks again.
Ellen Sears
