Hi Steve,
You asked in an earlier email if I could describe Thatch. I can give you my
impression of him but my daughter would be the person to ask since she
worked directly with him. The Thatch I remember was a tall, slightly stooped
man with brown thinning hair. He was very quiet and unassuming. In fact, I
hardly remember him speaking at all unless it was to ask, "What flavor would
you like?"
And now for perhaps a coincidence. The owner of the House of Flavors was
Alice Ferguson, nee Green. It could be that she and Elizabeth Maxine Green
were closely related. She has since remarried and her name now is
Beanblossom. I worked with Alice and her sister Bobby at our local
Westinghouse plant for many years before it closed.
I don't know if this information helps or not, but the next time I see Bobby
I will ask her if Elizabeth was a relative.
Good luck with your search,
Nancy Rush

Subject: [INRANDOL] Thatcher Soule
Hello from San Francisco,
I was unable to figure how to reply to the replies to my first posting....
but maybe I am not supposed to! At any rate I just wanted to thank all of
you for being so responsive helpful and warm. At a minmum I am needing to
rethink Thatcher's story as it is clear from his obit that he lived in
Indiana from 1943 onwards and he had been married to Elizabeth Maxine Green
for 48 years! So there is no way he could have operated the "T. Soule Jr."
art supply store here in the Bay Area from the 1950's to 1970. Who that
Soule was remains to be seen.
Even if the flow of info on Thatcher - or Thatch as he was called there in
UC - stops, I would be happy, with the only potential capper being a photo
if one emerges.
But for now, I just wanted to say thanks.
Steve Heimerle
