Dear Family,
I have many good memories of your family living on Powder Mill Road. I lived on Ebony Drive. I know Ruth was a special friend to Thelma Carbaugh, our neighbor. Good times! Good Memories! Margo Shryock McGuigan

Aunt Ruth took me sledding down Duke Street hill on the wooden sled. She also took me to basket ball games at the school.
