 Our family toured a paper plant with family friends, the Blanfords. Mr. Blanford was a pilot for American Airlines and I'm sure appreciated learning more about paper. The two in the striped shirts are Jim and Bill, and Mary is holding onto her dad's hand on the right.

 Standing is Bill and Jim Gleeson, seated is Mary and Paul in a Loblaw express wagon. Loblaw was the local grocery store. Since it was six to eight blocks away, I wonder if my mother used this to pick up a couple groceries since she did not have a car.

This is a picture of Mary Gleeson. This was my "spring coat" this year. It had a little white collar that would come off so you could wash it. In Buffalo, you would have a Sunday winter coat and a Sunday spring coat. We always dressed up for church.

 Mary Gleeson's first day of school in a red plaid dress. Going to PS 13 because Christ the King didn't offer kindergarden. I went to a half-day kindergarden and my teacher was Ms. Birduff. We rested on a mat each day. We had a large classroom without any desks. We enjoyed a day of deliberate supervised play.

This was a Christmas card picture in 1951
