Recollections:
Before we moved to California, I often would visit Aunt Lou. We lived in Washington Elms housing project and she lived in the Newton Court housing project which were across the street from each other, and each consisted of many buildings. At the time Aunt Lou was a heavy smoker. She loved to listen to the radio soaps: Stella Dallas, One Man's Family, Young Doctor malone, are a few that come to mind. Lou worked at the Margaret Fuller House, and on occasion, when Mom couldn't be at home for my coming home from school for lunch, I'd go over to the Margaret Fuller House and Aunt Lou would fix me a bowl of soup. In the office at Margaret Fuller House, they had a stem telephone that always intrigued me. The dial was part of the phone base, then a stem came up about eight inches high with the mouth piece coming out of the top of the stem and an ear piece craddle came off of the stem. The Margaret Fuller House was always a very popluar place for us kids to go to. Margaret Fuller was a very famous person. I think she worked early with women's rights and the plight of poor people. Aunt Lou was very gargarious and outgoing, Irene to me seemed to be very quiet. Irene lived with Lou for many years, I think until she got married.
