Recollections

Aunti Louise

Aunti Louise was a nurse and seemed to do private duty nursing as we knew of many of her patients. She married Jim Huntley. I remember when she was married. We were young probably all three of us were four years old to eight years old. So Aunt Lou was was not young when she married. She and Uncle Jim moved to Fullerton California and grew oranges for Sunkist Co. I remember as a child there was always a concern for the weather in California as cold freezing weather there could ruin a season's orange crop. Finally they found a way of supplying heat between the rows of trees to prevent damage to the crop in cold seasons.

Aunt Lou was an excellent letter writer and kept up a steady correspondence with all of her nieces, with each letter Aunt Lou always sent a pressed violet. In fact she was in Canada for my graduation at the University of Toronto. And also they drove mother and dad and myself down to Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore to start my dietetic internship there. Many of the family traveled to California for holidays to visit
