Autograph Memories pg.1
Going over my Autograph Books, will start with the first entry, Name and Date, (if that person put date on their entry) and if “You” know of, or are the writer want to reply – love to hear from You!
First page, Patsy Perkins, 01-24-49. She was a grade or two ahead of me. I believe she had an older sister, whose name escapes me, but I do remember another sister, Delores Perkins and two brothers, Daniel Perkins who was in my class, and a Robert Perkins. And another brother I can not think of his name?
Next, Jeanne Saettele, a classmate and also cousin. Her younger brother, Jimmie Saettele, was a grade or two under us. She also had two sisters , Rita and Rosemary Saettele. Rosemary signed 02-14-49. It must have been a Visiting Sunday, because Jeanne’s father signed, Gus Saettele, he owned a Jewelry Store in downtown Saint Louis.
On 03-20-49, Eleanora Faucher, a class mate signed in, and she was a very good friend. Years later, after I was married and moved to Florida she flew down for her vacation visit. Years even later , on a trip back to St.Louis , Eleanora, my sons and I took a trip up to the top of the St.Louis Arch! She has a brother Richard and also Eddie, and two sisters, Rosemary and Josephine. It seems that Josephine, needed to see the Eye Doctor, at a downtown St.Louis location, and I was asked to take her. I did like to get out of the Orphanage, so I could stop by and visit my Mother, on the way back. It does pay to know how to transfer from bus to bus, making your bus connections in a straight line, to your ending destination.
Luckily, we did have enough money to buy, ice cream cones, at Velvet Freeze store on our way back to the Orphanage, the last of our enjoyment – ice cream cone in hand – walking slowly – the last couple of blocks!
