My very first job, at 15, was working for Nanene Queen Engle and her sister Cora Lou Queen at the Calliope in Newburgh Indiana. I still go there sometimes and tho the name has changed, it still has the ambiance they created years ago. I miss them both and old Newburgh will never be the same without them.

When we were little girls,Nanene and I played together when she came to visit her grandmother, Mrs. Abshire. We enjoyed each other.
She had a wonderful life.
