Autograph Memories pg.6

Theresa Wieland, a classmate who was a very good friend, and years later after  she had been the Editor of the Alumni News, talked me into taking over  the job for her.

Shirley Nivois (02-05-49), one thing I remember  – you always  were proud to let the world know you were from Illinois, and said so in my book.

Stella Santoyo (06-26-49), a class mate and a very good friend  – you also wrote your birth date  June 6th, and I wish we would have given each other our addresses so we could have kept in touch? Your #90 and mine #91  –  some things one never forgets!

Rayetta Ludwig   (02-13-49)  – the 13th of February is also my brother, Tom’s birthday. I always admired you and all you were able to do at the Orphanage, and you made me so happy to sign as my friend. Your handwriting is beautiful and on the next page  your favorite Nun  Sister Gilbert, (02-02-49) wrote in  on my  Dad’s birthday and also ground hog day.

Sister Gilbert  (11-11-50)  was  my 7th and 8th grade teacher and  I wanted to get as many Nuns to sign in before leaving,  Sister wrote in  my second book  and  above  her signature,  Your Teacher!    Years later  – may have been a picnic date,  Sister wrote under her  previous signature  Sister Margaret Mary (06-13-75)  since she changed her name due to a reorganization at the ‘Mother House’ and some  of the other  Nuns  also changed their names.  I like the name  Sister Margaret Mary  –  much better!

 (06-13-75)  was a picnic for Alumni and I brought my family out  to visit and  did pick up a couple of the Nuns Names   – that I did not get a chance to get when I was living  there!
