Dear Family,
I was born in 1937, right across the street from "The Boins Girls". She and her sister baby sat for me and my sister who was born in 1934...They had one of the first TV's on Second St. and we spent many a Friday night watching "The Fights" with them. I have many fond memories of the Burns Family...They are in my prayers...
