My Mother's childhood
My grandparents went on to have three more children. Eleven months later, her brother Robert (Bob) was born and two years later, her sister Dorothy, who was called later Deedee. My mother and her siblings attended Catholic School and then later when to the public school. She told me she was a Tom boy and enjoyed outdoor activities. When she was ten years old her brother Daniel was born. She was really excited about being a big sister and helping her mother take care of him.
Religion, family gatherings, learning how to knit and sew were some of the highlights of her younger years.
