The last and kindest of my aunts on the Wasch side. I shall miss her company and her stories...some having historical significance.

She once told the story of learning to drive under the watchful eye of Hugo Tessmer, c. 1940. They practiced on Brookpark road. She ran the curb at a corner service station that rattled the car...and the patience of her coach. No damage done.
