Vee We paid our rent to Father Ryan of the church. So tell me, tell me, where did you live, how old were you at the time and did you ever go to any of the dances at St. Teresa's for the young teenagers??? Wouldn't it be something if we actually knew each other back then??? (tee hee!) I remember Father Ryan well. Funny the names we do remember. I meet new people daily but remember few names. I was 11 in 1944 so the social life was non existant at that stage. Actually took another 10 or more years to start. Another story in itself. You might have known my sister, Anne Watson, who was born in 30 and was 3 grades ahead of me. So in 1944 would have been in 8th grade. Last year in Maple Avenue would have been 1941. You and I probably had some of the same teachers. My Dad taught machine shop in South Junior High School from 1918 until 1944. We lived at 1310 Maple Avenue. My older brother said it was still there in 1990 I think it was. Bob AZ
