In 1955 after I got out of the Navy at Easter time, I went to Warrensburg and picked up my Mother, went to Cattaragus, N.Y. and picked up my Sister and her friend Betsy, also a teacher, and we all went to Florida. While in Florida, we looked up my Aunt in St. Pete.. She was one of my favorite Aunts, always friendly and joking.
