Dear Hope,
I never intended to wait a year before answering your letter, I know I'm a rotten correspondent, now I know just how bad!
About a year ago a Peg & Graham Schultz moved here from Catonsville so I've caught up on changes in Catonsville and Baltimore. He had lived in Catonsville most of his life. Kinda' nice, for the most part -- looking back. 'Course we went out mostly with the bakers group. Can only remember a few names now: Hauswalds, Muhlers?, Schmidts. And, of course, you were with Dr's. They always impressed me. Do tell me what happened to Dick and didn't he have pretty impressive parents? Didn't we drop by their house one time? 'Course I remember Hopie crawling like made from our kitchen thru dining room and streaking into living room. Looking up at you and Dick, who were following (we all were) as if to say: 'What next?' Always figured she'd have a strong will of her own. Don't remember Trina in the act at this time. Well she was born in 1945. When was Hopie born?
I think I left about '48. Then met and married Jack in 1950. I didn't have much of a marriage with Jim. We were just too different. With Jack I was very happy. He died about 7 years ago with Alzheimers (before it was recognized as such). He'd had it about 10 or 15 years. Of course, that didn't improve the financial scene. He had to give up work at 59. I get by but I'm sure not bleading rich. This is a high rent area - which didn't help but I took this apartment about 14 years ago (it's small) because I could kinda' read the handwriting on the wall. And I do like it here. The stock market hasn't improved anything. Oh well.
Trina lives about 3/4th's hour away. And that's nice. Her two kids are still in school. One college and one in prep. Justin at McGill in Canada (he's 20). Sarah at St. Paul's in Concord, NH. She's 16. I do some volunteer work at the library but that's about it. I should never smoke (but I do). Ditto about drinking -- but not much. It scares me. Of course, I have emphysema - but I'm not crying! I read a lot and would say I'm kinda happy.
Now, what about you? And Hope? Barbara I hear from every Christmas and look forward to the news. Does Hopie or you visit with the rest of you -- say, Barbara, Judy, etc. and Dick?
Gene still lives in Las Vegas. Her 4th marriage ended in divorce so she will have none of marriage. And she likes Las Vegas. Well she's lived there, Why, I guess since about 1950. Her twins live up around here. Her son? I don't know, maybe Baltimore.
I hope I'm not repeating. Now, let me know about yourself and anything you write will be appreciated and because of my extreme guilt you'll hear from me pronto! I'm now just hitting 73. Wotta' happy surprise.
And much love,
Katrina
