I remember a family party at Aunt Laura Mae's home. We were all young marrieds and singles at the time. She pulled out a Twister game which was popular at the time. She had us all on the floor trying to win the game while our bodies were all twisting around. It was fun and she instigated the entire activity. I also know that she was the leader of casino tours at St. Rosalie Church although I never attended these day trips I am sure that she kept the party rolling.
