One of my favorite memories...
"I took tap dancing lessons for 3 years when I was little. It was 1942, and I was 6 or 7 years old when this picture was taken. I was wearing one of three costumes that I remember. There were 8 little girls in my class and we were all dressed as spring flowers, all pastels and mine was a pale shade of green... like celery. Can you tell this was me?..."
In Loving Memory...
