Hi Nancy, Did Jim have a brother George? I say we are thinking of the same Jim. It was the mid fifties. I was the paperboy. I didn't know Jim from George, but it all comes back now. Jim was the more slender of the two. I didn't know the lady's first name, just that she was Mrs. Howe. Don't recall if I knew which she was married to. But I do remember that they were the sweetest people, so kind and generous too. They were Catholic, if that helps. I can almost remember the address. It was 215 or 225, something like that. Anyway, it seemed they all lived in the one house, at one time right next to Young's market. BTW, don't ask me how, but strangely, I knew they were from WVA. Then again, there were lots of people in my neighborhood from WVA. Seems that my father knew George; I remember him talking about him. I imagine that Nora was related to the other Philbins. All mentioned above whould have gone to St. Mary's Church, as back then it was about the only one. Well, was I right, or have I embarassed myself? Wouldn't be the first time. Hope to hear from you.
