“Here is a special bag… of  “JELLY BEANS” –

In the late 1940’s and early 1950’s – – some of our classmates at the German Saint Vincent Orphanage – – decided to give ourselves a “NICK-NAME” and the “NICK-NAME” that Eleanor Faucher decided she wanted for herself… “JELLY BEAN” – –  – – a “NAME” that I just could never forget – – I do not remember anyone having ever called  her – – by her “NICK NAME”  – – but some people like me – – just can not forget some things – – that  make no sense  – – I know everybody “KNOWS” someone like that!
