Close Knit Friends


Anna moved to an apartment building with her sister and her husband Frank, Frank's brother Billie and his wife Tootsie and another couple, Alice and Walter Gillispie. These people were very involved in each other's lives and were a support for Anna. They would take day trips together on Sundays.

Here is a picture of Kathryn at Saxon Woods in 1936. She would have been three at the time.

Growing up, I remember Tootsie, Alice and Walter Gillispie. Alice and Walter were around until I was in my early twenties. (In the mid 1980's) Uncle Walter, as we called him, was a great musician.
