Autograph Memories pg. 4
Pat Fox (02-14-49) another good friend and a grade or two ahead of me!
Arthur T. Haag (02-04-49) nice, when one of the older boys wishes you , “Good Luck” and he has such a ‘terrifically ‘ good handwriting!
Gail Porter (01-09-50) wrote on this date in the second book and also in my first book. We keep in touch over these many years, and as Sister M. Michael put it we will be talking – 40 years after we are dead and buried!
Sister Marie (02-20-49) was the Nun in charge, when we, girls came from our job assignments to the girls-side play-room to put on our school uniforms , and hurry to our class-rooms! One had to be sure not to offend her in any way and- or ‘talk-back’ – as she would detain you – so as to make you late for school. So, that made for “Double – Trouble!” She was one of the Nuns, who came to the Funeral Parlor – when my husband died.
Sister Rondegunis was the Nun in charge , of the laundry and the girls spent at least a couple of days a week working there. Now , that I read again what “Sister” wrote in my book – I do believe we were very unkind to “Sister.” There was a lot of work to be done in an Orphanage Laundry , and she wore herself out, and received very little help. I bet this was the one and only request she received to write in someone’s autograph book. I wish, I had – had a more ‘ understanding heart’ when I was a very young girl?
