“Who Do You Know…?” | Grandma’s Stories

Oct 1st “Who Do You Know…?”

The question for the day was…”WHO DO YOU KNOW?”

This was an exciting afternoon…seeing people who may have been living at St. Vincent’s – and hoping that they were living here – during the years of 1945 and 1952?? As those were the years that I was a student and living at German Saint Vincent’s .

One cannot expect that everyone would live so long… and also would be on the mailing list – to receive their invitation…and – then there are those who changed their names – due to being married and they may not have kept in touch with the ORPHANAGE – – since they left. I know that there are a million good answers …that you will receive or maybe – get – – when you make inquires as to where old- er people decide to go and live – and some may have just decided that the HOME – just was mot their “cup of tea” when they were younger – – certainly not now … in these days – – that we might call their “GOLDEN” years.

All of that is good… but for me – if I met you as a young child… and then there was an opportunity to meet you again in these years – – when one does stop to think to their self…”I sure do wonder …what in the world did good old … Mary Wright and her brother, Jim decide to do all these years – – and how about Rose Mary Brady and her brother, Pat – and Norma Jean Reves and her brother, Jack and then too Norma Fulher and her brother – – and everybody else…I just think of all the old kids …especially those who took the time to sign my autograph book – way back in the 1940’s and 1950’s???

Just thought that maybe there should be a call out there for all those that can still remember their “I.D. NUMBERS” – do you know 10 – 29 – 93 or even 91???

In the above photo that is ME #91 – in the blue and white dress – – and showing photos to the couple – they did know a few of the names on some of photos – but in the conversation – I am sorry that – I did not get there names – the old memory just dose not work as it should!!!
