Francie's Corner By: Mary Frances Wilson (Age 11) Daddy told me not to write much this week so I don't think I will. Last week was my birthday and I was 12 years old and Mr. Fred Riser from Warren, Ohio, sent me a real cute birthday card and Mr. Hanes from Asheville, North Carolina, sent me a nice letter. On Friday and Saturday, Mom, Dad and Bobby took a vacation and went to Uncle Bob's house in Pomeroy, Ohio, and Dinah Coplin and I on Friday evening wrapped the West and Ohio single wrappers in an hour; and then on Saturday Dinah, Grandma and I kept shop and we earned about $14.75.
