Barbara F. Griswold

Just reread my 2016 message. My best to Scott.

I did not know my second cousin, Babara, until we met in music school at Fredonia in 1965-6. "You have an Aunt Anise? My Grandmother's name is Anise!" Then we found each other on Facebook in 2010. We had made a date to meet physically at the Dresden Hotel when she passed away.

I met my cousin, Barbara for the first time in school at Fredonia. She said she was from Corning and I asked her if she was related to Anise Fitzsimmons. It was her grandmother. And my great Aunt.

We have known Barbara and Graham for at lesast 15 yers through our theater experiences. We first met at A Funny thing Happened on the way to the forum and again at Old Havana courthouse Theater where they did some melodramas with us. Barbara played my wife in Revenge at the Villanova Rest home and we all had a lot of fun, I think it was her first time at swordplay.
