Olive and I were friends at the U. of Iowa; we met in the theatre dept., both of us cast in the same play. "When the bough breaks." That may have been the title. 1948. I played a Cajun aunt, she was probably a servant. We stayed friends, but I graduated and left Iowa City and Olive was in grad school. I had heard vaguely that her father was a minister, but that didn't mean much to me.
