Dear Linda,
Happy blessed birthday celebration to you and all the best for many more years to come. Hopefully, you were able to relax and enjoy the superbowl game. My bias was for the KC Chiefs because I attended school in Kansas. However, I am excited for what Miami Bucs did with their talents. Celebrate regardless of whomever you were cheering for. This is your day and year for joy and good health. Stay safe and take care of yourself. Much love and blessings!

Cathy was my best friend in high school. I don't remember how we met, but we shared a locker and rode the bus together down Ridge Ave. I got picked up in front of St. Frances Hospital and she got on at Madison or Monroe.
Cathy's sister got us jobs the summer after sophomore year at the Allen Paper Company on Canal St. downtown. We were given a can of Raid to use in case any roaches showed up while we did our job..packaging typewriter ribbons! We would get dressed up to ride the train down to Union station, then change into "grubs" when we got to work. $1.00/hour!
On Saturdays we often went down to the loop to "pick up" sailors. That was super easy to do, as there were hundreds of them taking their leave for the day from Great Lakes Naval Training Center. We'd hang out, have lunch, walk in the park and then hightail it home. One Saturday, 2 sailors insisted on seeing us home. We weren't keen on the idea..we had dates that night. We couldn't discourage the sailors who stuck with us til we got to Cathy's house, and then were horrified to see that our dates were sitting on the front steps waiting for us.
They saw us being escorted by the Navy and took off. Likewise, the sailors abruptly departed back to Great Lakes! We were much more careful after that.
